It was not my original intention to include AA in the list above, but as I started compiling it it seemed silly to not (assuming this thread moves to the OW forum).
And those programs listed above do not explicitly exclude upgrading codeshare flights. That is to say that I could be flying an AA-coded CX flight and use AsiaMiles to upgrade. (I think - hence why I'm asking for input).
if you want to compile a list of award redemptions on AA using other programs, that's one thing. it's not AAdvantage miles, of course, but it does hinge on AAdvantage award inventory availability...
This is not my intention.
if you want to list all the ways redemptions on all oneworld partners can happen, that's awfully complex and not very American-specific.
I agree this is not very AA specific, and had I thought through my forum choice more carefully we wouldn't be having this discussion.
With that in mind, I am only interested in the various upgrade awards on other airlines codeshare flights.
