The conditions for using AA to upgrade CX flights require access to a time machine... You can only upgrade AA metal with AA miles. The essence of simplicity, indeed, as per Wexflyer.

I could not check in online, did not get priority boarding, and had no upgrade ability via coupons.

So, I just wondered if the same was true of all codeshares, and whether you are unable to use miles to upgrade if you are flying on an AA Codeshare?
