I got price-happy and booked a L-class flight from LHR-JAN (via ATL) in December. I usually fly non-rev on American and have great luck with business class upgrades. Now spoiled...I can't imagine flying coach on an intercontinental flight.

I only have 31K SkyMiles (6K MQM, 5 Qual. Seg.). Is there any trick I can pull to be eligible for an upgrade, considering it is a deep discount ticket?

Many thanks in advance!

Unless you are going to Canada or the Caribbean (also int but eligible for comp upgrades) you can not upgrade an L class fare. It must be Y, B, or M. To Europe the min $$ you will need to spend for the upgrade is around $2800-$3500. Asia is more.
