(2) Or upgrade BE ticket to a regular ticket.
(a) Cancel regular ticket into an FFC.
(b) Change it to a flight (until Jun 2025, end of bookable calendar).

Perhaps someone who's tried these can help.

P.S. As aacharya writes, "Wait until close in to cancel as you may get a travel.waiver." which may allow full refund.
