The trickiest part on these tickets is that they need to be changed to the BA flight number in order for the upgrade to be processed. This requires the agent to call the fare desk and that is where you will end up with people saying that this is a restricted fare.

Regardless of whether it is restricted, the rules for upgrading from WT+ just say a published WT+ fare (https://www.aa.com/i18n/aadvantage-p...r-airlines.jsp). There is no mention on the site that restricted fares are not eligible but there are some people at the fare desk who have made up that rule I think...

One odd thing that I have noticed is that seat selection no longer seems available. I guess I will have to call in but on my first ticket I recall selecting all of my seats online (upgraded and regular).
