What I'm trying to say, is that it isn't a WT+ fare he is being quoted at AA.

I did the same exercise LAX-DAR, BA shows WT+ roundtrip as $3,300, calling AA the agents give me $5,600 as the lowest upgradable fare available. Digging into it further it turns out this wasn't a WT+ fare but rather a full fare ticket in economy that could be upgraded to business using AA miles plus the co-pay ( I suspect this is because the WT+ fare simply isn't available at AA)

If OP really wants a WT+ fare he is not going to find it at AA.com or via by calling AA
