I'm quite surprised to hear that CO cannot check the upgrade options until the flight is ticketed. I'd try again and get a different agent to look at it.
Thanks sbm12. Yes, basic rule of FT. Call and get another agent who knows better.
I was planning to buy something directly off of CO.com (in case they were selling those exact flight numbers...and they did have one of three!).
Eventually i did not buy anything. The fares are way higher if directly purchased with the airline (e.g., LH in this case). I am still thinking. I need to figure out if I really want to do this.

Good to know. In this case, again, i guess call another agent and see what they say.
Thanks for this info. This indeed awesome!
