Is buying an economy ticket and paying to upgrade (miles + co-pay) of interest? If so, the direct BOS-LHR flight on 8/29 is C2; coming back on 9/5, the early LHR-ORD is C3 or the direct LHR-BOS on 9/4 is C4.
It may be, although between the copay and the british gov't upgrade tax...! I hadn't seen the upgrade inventory because apparently ExpertFlyer masked it out when my end destination was EDI - LHR-EDI is flown on a BA codeshare. I guess you have to look by segments to see it.
