I'm going to be on that BA ORD-LHR flight no matter what. There currently is F stock available. My LAS-ORD flight is 3 days before I fly ORD-LHR. I'm not sure I understand the implications surrounding impact on other airlines if BA allows me to upgrade on one of their flights, using one of their planes, in one of their cabins - it must just be that this is all too complicated for me
Regarding the suggestion that I should have not booked the AA leg - when I priced AMS-LHR-LAS and then a return of ORD-LHR-AMS it cost £2 less than adding the LAS-ORD segment in the full itinerary - so it was a bit of a no brainer to add that part rather than pay a high price for a one way ticket
The ticket stock is BA. If the route is open for Z class- call BA and ask for the You First Desk- they will transfer you. Advise you have been told you want to upgrade the ORD LHR leg to First- and ask them to pull the Avios miles and reissue the ticket. The answer you received is not quite correct. It sounds like there was confusion and the answer of AA metal can't be upgraded-overrode the rule of BA metal/BA ticket stock/ Z class open. The reissue of the LAS ORD for time schedule on AA metal- which it would be with an AA number has nothing to do with this answer....
