However with BA you can do a Miles for Upgrade ( MFU) ie pay for a WT+ ticket ( Prem Econ) use 25k miles and get to Travel Club World (business) . You also get the miles for thw WT+ ticket booked (25% milexbonus on distance traveled).
Above relate to UK BA EC .

Yes but you can also upgrade on BA flights using Asiamiles. Not only that, with BAEC, you can only upgrade if you buy your ticket direct from BA and it's usually from NA to LHR. On Asiamiles, it can originate anywhere and on any economy class fares as long as it can earn miles, is a return and the ticket is electronic.
Remember too that you must pay US$50 to join the Marco Polo Club, and that in order to retain OW elite status, you must travel on at least 4 sectors with CX to retain your club status.
