Again, BA is correct. The rule is:
What you might have done in the past is upgrade some segments using FF points/miles. This is allowed. For example:
- on a QF-issued ticket I have upgraded QF segments using QF FF points
- on an AA-issued ticket I have upgraded AA segments using AA FF upgrade certificates
What is not allowed is upgrading segments by paying money
- congratulations on getting your changes made
- if you are planning more RTW journeys, I suggest you familiarise yourself with the fare rules (they are available on oneworld.com); and also take a copy of the rules as they are on the day you purchase your ticket
Happy Travels

Thanks Pandaperth. Actually, I was trying to upgrade using Avios not money. I wouldn't spend my hard earned cash on upgrades. That's what Air Miles are for
. So, on that point BA are incorrect then ? If so, I suspect the real problem is the 'lock' they have put on making further changes to the ticket (as opposed to what the agent told me).
Thanks also for the clarification on the stopover rule. Just one point on this. In relation to that rule, I assume that Europe/Middle East is a regarded as single continent (i.e. not Europe and Middle East separately). On that assumption, I think the following should be valid as long as DOH is used as a transit point for SGN-DOH-WAW and LHR is used as a transit point for WAW-LHR-MCT (i.e. no stopovers in DOH and LHR, which I believe means less than 24 hours)

Would you agree ?
