Was recently on a flight HKG/JFK and a lady in J wanted to upgrade to F using cash. There was just one seat avail in F, but J was at 50% Finally much to the dismay of the J passenger she was not allowed. The doors were still open, so FA could have managed it with ticketing staff...maybe heavily discounted ticket? or already used miles to get from Y to J
