1. Is this correct? I'm assuming this means Qantas owns the ticket.
2. Anything I can do to potentially upgrade on the domestic legs?
Your post and its subsequent replies have been merged into the consolidated thread on this topic.

Please note that FlyerTalk Guidelines & Rules do require users to look for an existing relevant thread before starting a new one. In this case, this thread was linked from the FAQ sticky at the top of page 1; you'll also find a lot of good information on that sticky about upgrades and many other AA topics. It's a highly recommended read for any new FlyerTalker!
