(And I don't think I'd be willing to pay 550€ for a 6-hour flight anyhow.) I guess I'll give them a call later this week and see.
My guess is that they'll only allow you to upfare if you have a changeable ticket, which is not the case if you purchased the lowest fare (discount).

I used to be able to sort issues out on Twitter via DM but they did not reply to me at all last time. I'm guessing they stopped answering queries on Twitter due to the barrage of daily refund complaints on all their Twitter threads.
In terms of communication, that's spot on. The only acceptable way of communicating with TAP is via the Gold hotline.
