If so, try to take to the Captain at the gate. Hit and miss, but some Captains might upgrade you.
Sorry, but we have absolutely no say in who gets upgraded. In fact, we get in trouble with the F/A's if we mess with their world. Now, if you can get a coach seat, after the door is closed, then maybe, but again, that is only with the F/A cooperation.
I know that doesn't help, sorry.
