With AA SWUs - each one can be used to upgrade up to three AA-marketed and operated flights. They have to be heading in the same direction, more or less. So for instance one could upgrade HKG-DFW-MIA-LHR using one SWU, but not say LHR-LAX-MIA-GRU.
will AA take over a 160 ticket to apply the upgrade? that is the other concern.
if I do MPM DOH HKG DFW GRU xxx EZE DFW LHR yyy. then it would take 2 upgrades.
BA upgrade is per round trip so it is not clear what that means in the context of RTW ticket.
