Again, as said it’s not possible. You said in another post that you called. So either the agent has misunderstood your request or you misunderstood or there is a glitch somewhere, or a combination of the 3 !

Thank you for the information. I'll give them a ring back.

Asking for a friend, since neither of us are regular AF/KL fliers: he's in Beijing at present, and due to a work-dictated schedule, he has a very short window of time from which to finish his business in China and make it to Paris -- and since AF has the only PEK-CDG nonstops, that was his only option. While I can't pull up the seat map since it's less than 51 hours until his departure, ExpertFlyer is showing wide-open availability in J (9+ seats). He's EXP on AA but has no status on any ST airline.
I scrolled through a number of pages on this thread but didn't see anything about that particular route. Do any of you guys know if he can upgrade from Y to J with cash -- either at OLCI or via phone -- and if so how much it might cost? I know from my own experience that prices on flights into and out of PEK have plummeted to borderline-absurd levels, so I'm wondering if he has any options here.
