Flying DCA-CLT-DUB next week and have a request in for an upgrade with miles+copay. There are seats available on both flights in F, just not upgrade inventory, so I'm waitlisted. The website shows both segments "Type of Upgrade" as "Mileage Upgrade."

My question is whether I should de-link the first segment from the mileage upgrade request, which I assume will cancel the possibility of the 500-mile upgrade if the TATL upgrade hasn't cleared?

Welcome any thoughts and thanks in advance!
You can call AA to have the miles+copay request attached to just the CLT-DUB segment, and then the DCA-CLT segment is an automatic sub-500 request. I did it recently for TPA-MIA-SCL and it worked.
