I believe BA upgrades go into the same booking code as BA avois awards. So you need to find a flight that is available as an award in your desired class. Note also that if you desire business class then you have to purchase a premium economy. BA will not upgrade from economy to business on flights that have a premium economy cabin... they consider that a double upgrade.
