People had recommended discussing it with your customer (or employer before they understood the situation). I wouldn't do either. It might make you seem like a weasel to your customer (or employer) causing undue scrutiny and distrust.
If F is not that important to you, then why not tell your customer (or employer) that you prefer that they keep the extra $6500 and have a coach ticket purchased. However your customer (or employer) decides to reward you is up to them. Maybe a bonus, maybe admiration and additional respect which could lead to more business (or a promotion in the case of the employer).

Here's what can be done:
1. Buy your FC ticket on your personal credit card as an E-ticket.
2. Buy your coach ticket on another personal credit card (E-ticket or otherwise, doesn't matter).
3. After receiving the receipt for your FC E-ticket, keep it for expensing.
4. Call the airline directly and have them refund the FC E-ticket directly to your credit card.
This will give you a receipt to use for expenses and the refund on your credit card, voila! This will only work if your company allows you to use any credit card for expenses.</font>
