I updated eight segments of a 17 LONE4 booked in February last year to First (AA) and Business (QF) using AAdvantage Miles and Qantas FF points.
FWIW, BA op-upped us on two other segments including ORD-LHR.
Two weeks ago I ticked another LONE4 and have already upgraded on 2 of the AA segments; another 8 upgrades planned (QF/AA) for this itinerary.
Since BA charge high levels of Fuel fine and one can only upgrade on any of their flights if they ticket I am not planning to book intercontinental BA flights on xONEx's.
