500-mile upgrades allow you to upgrade from Economy Class to the next class of service for travel on American Airlines or American Eagle

For me upgrading with miles (15k) from J to F on the 762 is like splitting 8s in blackjack- i'll do it every chance i get- for the privacy and space.
Can't imagine the 321B will be different.

As this pertains to the pre-merger American Airlines, it is being moved to that forum.
As noted in the Welcome to the New American Airlines Forum! PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING, questions and information pertaining to the existing AA or US operations should go in those forums as it will be quite some time before the two entities operate as a single airline.
Your understanding is appreciated.

Large corporate customers on the route typically get a bunch of J -> F upgrade certificates for free. Other than that, no.
