Call CX and they told me that because it is done by travel agent, they cant do anything until after the first segment is completed.. and once trip has started one cannot change the class of service..
Is there anything I can do?
IF the ticket is an Explorer type ticket (for example OneWorld or Global Explorer), then I'm pretty sure you can upgrade.
For example the
OneWorld Explorer has this rule:
16(c)(2) A Business class oneworld Explorer fare may be upgraded to a higher tiered or First class oneworld Explorer fare without fee.
There is no mention of whether this can happen before the first flight or after - so presumably it can be done at any time
A point to note it that the number of F cabins has been decreasing over time - so it might be wise for you to check the availability of F on the flights you will be taking
