As a reminder, through BAEC you can upgrade British Airways, Iberia and American Airlines flights, and only the lowest economy fares (Q, O and G) cannot be upgraded with Avios .

This is very helpful: thanks for the details.
So it turns out that the fare is O class — could it be upfared without a change fee by paying a fee different to the lowest economy bucket that would allow Avios upgrades, and then upgraded using Avios? Or is it stuck and it can only be upgraded using cash at the airport checkin if a special offer is made by Iberia then?
