BA long haul Business is not that good, so if premium economy is available, I would do that in a heartbeat. You do this at the customer service center in the food court in Terminal 5.

There is no fare class restriction to upgrade from Y to PE or J? Any other info on logistics / getting the upgrade? And does paying for for this upgrade get more EQP?
