I can confirm an upgrade at a fair price, but if it books into P when crediting to a *A FFP, I won't go for it (wouldn't have cared much if it was a V, S, etc. fare). Although, if a retroclaim for the original Y fare works, then that'll be fine with me. The flight's currently selling P fares for Business.
You will not be able to retroclaim the Y fare, as you were booked into and traveled in P.
