The phone app and indeed web based paid upgrade failed because one of the passengers has a non US passport.
AS will not under any circumstances allow a paid OLCI upgrade on a flight to USA where one or more passengers in booking does not hold US passport.
This is notwithstanding that the passenger(s) in question hold Electronic Travel Authorisations or visas etc.

I've had issues checking in on AS international flights with a US Passport. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.
Not sure why.
But OLCI is required to commence to allow upgrades, SDC, etc.
If you get to the checkin desk early, there's a shot of paying for the upgrade there. Good luck ^

Does anyone know if you will be offered an OLCI Paid F upgrade on the Android App? Or Do I need to check in from a computer/web browser?
