Are upgrades possible on Korean Air?
My dad will be flying KE from BOM-LAX and returning SFO-BOM on an N class ticket.
So here are my queries -
(a) Would it be possible for me to upgrade him to bus. class using my miles? If yes, whats the best way to go about doing it?
(b) Hoping against hope - any chance of mileage earning?
Thanks, in advance, for your responses

Few years ago as a f+rouge I was upgraded to biz on a KE operated flight with an AF ticket (CDG-ICN). I was travelling with a non frequent flyer and he got upgraded too. For sure the plane was completly pack in Y. The fare we paid at that time was within the middle range for Y ticket (don't know if it help).
OP UP was performed at the gate in CDG at the last minute.
