Reply to Deann Simmons's Post: I have been told by different travel agents that there is no way I can buy a coach seat with cash and then use my Delta Sky Miles sponsored by Amex to get an upgrade to Business or first class JFK to DeGaulle. However I am sure there is a company, probably more then one, that does do this for a fee. I am perfectly willing to pay two or three hundred dollars to such a company that can "get it done" My planned departure is August 26, 27, or 28. My return is Sept 8,9 or 10. I am very flexible. One adult and two seniors traveling. Thank you for your efforts, Jack D
