How can I get an upgrade to business class even though my ticket code is the letter Q (discounted fare)?

missy asked:


A travel agent booked a discounted economy class ticket for me on American Airlines. I’m flying to beunos aires and I’d like to get an upgrade. Im a member of the AAdvantage program and I only have about 6,000 miles and I know that won’t cover the whole upgrade. When I spoke to an AA rep, she said that because I have a Q ticket I can’t upgrade. Surely there is some way this can be done?
