Hopefully one day we'll be able to force the system to book higher fare classes if we want them.
this is a nasty trick, and some people might consider it unethical but in your situation here's what you could do:

Suppose your flight is showing H2 Q1. Phone a TA or AC and hold a seat in Q class. Q will then show Q0. Then go to ac.com and purchase a ticket in the lowest available bucket (which is now H class)

Cheers
