No luck while connecting in IST and while originating in IST (zero for two tries). Agents sent me to the service desk where they tried to charge me the difference in the fare (not an upgrade).

I tried connecting in IST but was just wondering if the sales desk for those originating in IST had any discounts. Guess not
