I recommend that you put away the Expertflyer and just monitor your booking regularly for possible upgrade offers...
I don’t see any upgrade section on Iberia’s website or app, using the BA PNR. Doesn’t seem to be a corresponding five character PNR for Iberia’s RESIBER system — maybe because it’s a BA codeshare?
Nor do I see an upgrade section on BA’s Manage My Booking. Would it appear later?
edited to add: I do see it now. Pricing the upgrade on the MMB section of the BA website as:
$1302 for two passengers Y to Y+
$21,920 for two passengers Y to J (!!!)
Neither seems especially compelling. Do these prices change and if so when?
