What would you say is the best strategy if you want to book an American Airlines flight and upgrade to business using miles? I'm flying return LA-LON end of October with my husband and two children. Between us, my husband and I have about 400,000 AA miles

Yes, for upgrading AA marketed and operated flights with AA miles, EF can search for that space.

Book AA marketed and operated in economy, then use miles+copay upgrades.
