I have read that having the KE economy in J,C,I,D,Z fare class makes it upgradeable however, Delta says they cannot book into a specific fare class. DM line agents have told me different information 3 times. I have told them I am willing to cancel the whole ticket and start from scratch buying an upgradeable PS ticket, but they say they cannot pick which economy fare class on KA. Anyone have any experience with this? TIA.

there are no PS fares that are upgradable on KE metal. P A G fares on Delta are not KE upgradable. The ICN-HKT fare portion would need to be in Y B or M (main cabin fare).
