EXP agent stated that my flight was marketed by BA as it was booked through BA and therefore I can’t apply the SWU even though EF is showing A1 on an awards search.
She even stated that she checked with the revenue dept and got a no. Seems at odds with the info in the wiki. HUCA?
The agent was wrong, you are correct. "Marketed" means the airline whose code is on the flight, and has nothing to do with which airline issued the ticket. As long as the flight is both operated and marketed by AA (also called an AA prime flight), you can use an SWU to upgrade it.
