I'm sure your aware that your father’s ticket now needs to be a flex or flex plus ticket in order to be able to upgrade him before online check in opens and of course you will only be able to upgrade him if there is availability.
Good luck - hope it works for you both.
Yes always traveling on Flex Plus tickets.
I clicked around my skywards account myself the last hour and found a way to upgrade him.
When clicking on "redeem miles" and then "upcoming travel" I can enter his name and booking reference to enter his booking and check for an upgrade (see screenshot).
Thanks for your help!
