Title says it all, really.
Just wondering whether BA are using the old pricing for partner awards, too.

If you mean doing a UuA then I am sure a few have already said that they use the new avios rates. Also this is confirmed on the FAQ page on ba.com

When you mean upgrade doing a partner booking I assume you mean do a UuA on IB or AA? I don't see why BA would still be using the old rates for those unfortunately.

How do I upgrade using Avios?
Where available, you can upgrade using Avios by visiting Manage My Booking or by contacting your local Executive Club Service Centre.
The new reward flight prices apply to all new Avios upgrades made from 28 April, even if the flight you are upgrading was booked before 28 April.

No, by "upgrading a partner award" I meant upgrading an award booking made on a partner airline. 
It has been reported here that on BA flights they're applying the historical points.
