Thanks for all the input.
Assuming that this was a DL operated flight, what does I have to do with getting an upgrade? On DL, I is a discounted business class fare inventory. It has no clear association with upgrade or award inventory on DL, although it may have been the bucket for (low) business class award seats in the past and IIRC still is on some other carriers.
EF no longer shows DL upgrade or award inventory.
SORRY: Now I remember that the OP was about having a paid I class ticket and being in coach for some segments. So I space was needed but the word "upgrade" in the post I quoted confused me as this was not an upgrade but a matter of OP getting a seat in the cabin that was paid for.
