miles taken yet… I don’t think they are giving complementary upgrades lol. Flight still showing half empty in business.
Ha! Yeah it’s been a mixed bag for me. They deducted the miles and captured the $ quickly. And my ticket showed biz and a biz seat. But it kept saying “upgraded requested” in my app. Weird. Everything went off just fine.

But now I’ve used AA miles to upgrade a BA codeshare and they haven’t taken the miles. I’m in J, though. That flight is this coming weekend, so we will see.
