Note that if you are prepared to shell out the cash for (usually full fare) J LH gives you a complimentary upgrade to F, its a well established sales policy in North America. The same goes for Y. This policy is ancient, but the upgrade in such cases books into O and I well in advance. If the inventory is not available, the sales office will make sure you are listed when checkin opens. Post Lehmann when we stopped buying our coporate C/D/Z fares ex DTW, LH offered us this scheme to extract more revenue from Y tickets. I've been on F flights ex DTW where half of the cabin enjoyed the C->O bump at checkin even though the business cabin was not oversold.
