This, I have been told by BA, is due to the rules that apply to these specific fare combinations, with emphasis on the adjective specific.

I think if any POUG proposition is going to be made available to a ticket containing UK domestic feeders it may be those with a fare combination that work within the existing MFU mechanism. Thus, in theory, a EDI-LHR-SFO booked in T class with domestic sectors booked in J may well be eligible for POUG (subject to availability). Whether MMB has been primed to offer this is a different issue.

Just my musing on the subject.
Mr H travelled MAN-LHR-BOS in J domestic, T transatlantic but was not offered an upgrade on MMB. Several people were op upped WT+ to CW on the flight, but not him.
