According to AA, upgrade with miles are ONLY possible with BA in W class. Not possible to upgrade with miles on AA or Iberia. I guess Doug Parker was right - passengers are "self loading cargo."

Please see AA oneworld & Other Airline Partner Award information, rules (master thd) for further details on using AA miles to upgrade on BA and IB.
