Thank you very much.

If you're talking about using BA Avios, they only limit you to anything but "Q, O and G". So that might work.

You could call and ask to have the flights changed to the higher fare class and pay the cost difference, but you may well find that it would be cheaper to simply upfare to discount Business instead.
