I'm in BRU now ... Can't upgrade FRA-YUL ... Can't pay extra to upgrade my ticket ... That's what I was told by S/E desk ...
You probably got screwed when they booked you into an non-upgradable fare on the rebook. I have been in this situation many times on an op irregularity. They automatically rebook into the lowest fare bucket, such that I don't even get status, let alone the opportunity to upgrade.
