If you do not have a high F# key you will be actually playing an altissimo note. Play a high A with the octave key depressed. Now keep the same fingering except move your left index finger up to the bis key or the key next to where you were. At the same time, add the Bb side key. That is the fingering I use for F#. You might have to curl your tongue some like saying "Hurl" when you blow. It takes practice.
