Can the flight be rebooked onto AA?
Whether it can then be upgraded may depend on whether it is a fare where the ticket can be reissued by AA
I knew it wouldn't be simple! But the essence is similar to upgrading BA metal, AA flight number, I guess - they need to change it to a prime flight number first, and that depends on who 'owns' or can access the ticket. And presumably one shouldn't assume that a B fare on the BA# will translate to a B fare on the prime AA#.
I'll just start by asking our corporate travel agent if they can book it as an AA flight number to begin with and still get the great price I was seeing – as part of a BA Premium Economy trip from SFO-LHR and returning from Manchester.
