Are some AA fares NOT upgradeable? Or is my advance, largely-discounted fare something that AA isn't interested in letting me offer to upgrade .. yet?
How does paying to upgrade already purchased-and-ticketed itineraries work these days?
thanks,
IME the upgrade offers are still hit or miss for itineraries that originate outside the US. At least half of my paid flights on AA originate in Europe or Asia, sometimes the offers are there and sometimes they're not.
So nothing to do with your fare being ineligible or too cheap or anything like that, just AA IT being AA IT.
