Mileage and copayment upgrades on American Airlines
As of May 20, 2017 upgrade prioritization is:
Enjoy a higher cabin of service Link.
Use your AAdvantage miles to upgrade on flights marketed and operated by American Airlines or American Eagle for yourself or anyone you designate.
Upgrades are valid to the next cabin of service* and are valid for a single one-way trip with a maximum of three segments. Upgrades are subject to capacity controls. Excluding award tickets, the following eligible fare types can be upgraded:
*E.g. Economy to Business, Business to three class First. At this time Premium Economy is treated as Economy for upgrade purposes.
See the chart here for cost in miles and dollars.
NOTE: The most expensive fare classes, full fare Economy Y, full fare Premium Economy W, and full fare Business J, may be upgraded without copay and at a lower cost in miles. See here.
Taxes and carrier-imposed fees:
Co-payment is non-refundable and inclusive of U.S. excise tax where applicable.
Mileage upgrade award tickets are subject to applicable taxes and security fees and may incur additional taxes as a result of upgrading to a higher class cabin (includes higher U.K. Air Passenger Duty If Flight originates in the UK or is a connecting flight with a connection time of 24:00 or more)..)
NOTE:
Miles and copay upgrades are to the next available cabin of service, are based on inventory being available, usable on AA marketed and operated flights (not codeshares operated by other airlines, not on other airlines' prime flights - BA and IB allow miles upgrades with AA miles but are very different and therefore not treated here).
See AA Participating Airline Upgrade Award - BA, IB, including codeshares (master thd), and note “one class of service” means Y to PE, PE to J, J to F where available on BA.
If the required inventory exists, they can be booked positively (i.e. upgraded immediately); if not, the request is wait listed. Wait list clearance is by status (EXP highest, no status lowest), and within status priority is by rolling 12 month EQD spend. Elites can have one traveling companion on the same PNR "borrow" their status for upgrade wait list purposes, until the request goes to the airport list, where you may want to assure your travel companion continues to hold your “borrowed” status for upgrade purposes.
Copays are waived for CK on all flights.
Frequently Asked Questions / FAQ:
Q. It says the upgrade fees are nonrefundable. Do I lose my miles and money if I'm not upgraded?
If your upgrade request does not go through, miles and copay are in fact refunded.
Q. If I am waitlisted, in what priority order are upgrades processed?
Upgrades are processed first by AAdvantage status tier, secondarily by type of upgrade, thirdly by the previous rolling 12 month EQD spend.
Q. Which has higher priority if all other preceding factors are the same? An upgraded with miles + copay, or an upgraded with SWU?
They have equal priority. A few reports state copay + upgrade have been given priority at some overseas stations.
Q. How soon will I know if my upgrade came through?
It can happen anytime inventory opens, from the time you book until the time you board. (Your request, including date and time of request, should carry over automatically to the airport list.)
Q. How soon will I know if my upgrade came through?
It can happen anytime inventory opens, from the time you book until the time you board. (Your request, including date and time of request, should carry over automatically to the airport list.)
Q. What happens to my booked seat whilst I'm waitlisted? If my upgrade doesn't come through, do I lose my reserved seat?
You normally retain your booked seat until (if) your upgrade comes through.
Q. How many flights can I upgrade with a single miles plus copay upgrade?
You may (assuming available inventory) upgrade up to three segments on the same ticketed itinerary (e.g. LHR-ORD-MIA-EZE, as long as they are on the same PNR).
Q. Can I look at AAnytime or MileSAAver award space to determine upgrade availability?
No. MileSAAver availability may be a good indication upgrade space may become available, but SAAver and upgrade inventories are separate.
Q. What fare inventory do I need to upgrade?
You need available "C" inventory to upgrade to two class domestic First and three class Business, "A" to three class First. These are not shown on aa.com, but some services (e.g. ExpertFlyer) do show them. The only way to reliably search for upgrade space on Expertflyer or other services is segment by segment. The reason for this is that by rule if C is available on the stand alone segment then the upgrade is allowed.
Q. I'm Executive Platinum. If I purchase an upgrade for someone without status, will they "borrow" my status for upgrade purposes?
They will if they are flying as your single traveling companion on the same flights. Otherwise, their status will determine their position on the upgrade wait list. This "borrowed" status was previously lost once the flight has gone to airport control; it doesn’t now, but it pays to check and see if it has been mismanaged by software - it can be restored when it has passed to airport control.
Q. Which miles earning and fare conditions will apply to my upgraded flights?
You will earn miles (award miles -- RDM -- and EQM) and EQ Dollars credit as determined by your originally purchased fare, and the applicable fare rules will also be determined by your originally purchased fare.

I checked online to make sure there were AAnytime business/first awards available. Assuming that the website was correct then I should be okay, correct?
If the rewards were not available I would definitely still want business/first. Are there any fees to upgrade (paying cash) on the same flight from discount economy to business/first beyond the obvious ticket difference?

An AAnytime award is just another way to buy an open seat in that class on that flight, Presence of such an award just means they have seats for sale and has nothing to do with upgrade awards.
The availability of a SAAver Award can be a good clue that there might be upgrade inventory open but it is not certainty.
You can either phone and ask about upgrade inventory for your flight or you can use a service like ExpertFlyer.com (which has a free trial I believe).
In general fees other than the difference in fare are usually waived when paying to upgrade a coach fare to a business/first fare, but do consider that if you wait to see if the upgrade will clear, the closer you get to departure the more expensive the remaining seats in the premium cabins are likely to get...

Good Morning,
I was planning a trip to Hawaii from JFK. My plan was to call AA, book discount economy seats, then use 15,000 points + $175 to upgrade to business/first class.
My questions are:
Am I correct that I will be allowed to do this?
Will I have to pay a phone booking fee as the upgrade requires a call?
Will I earn EQM's and Miles based on the discount economy booking, business/first, or do I lose them all?
Thanks

Yes - assuming the necessary inventory (A) is available on your flights. Otherwise it goes to waitlist
Unless you are EXP, I believe you will have to pay the phone fee. Also note the miles and copay are per person, per direction of travel.
You will earn EQM and RDM per the class (inventory bucket) you paid for. Not the upgraded class of travel.
So pretty much yes (with the waitlist caveat), unfortunately yes and I'm afraid so.

The wait list is based first on status, and within status tiers by those purchasing full Y fare and then by date and time of request.
OP, there is a "FAQ" section in the wikipost at the top of the page.

Hey. I'm flying LAX-JFK-ATL-ORD-LAX over 4 days next week. If I want to use miles +co pay, will I have to pay 15k +$75 for each sector or can some sectors be combined. Each sector is on a separate day. Sorry new to AA Plat and still trying to get my head around all the info. Any help is greatly appreciated :-)

Conflicted about Upgrade Using Miles Upgrade Priority
Recently did annual trip to LIH from JFK -- all segments were upgraded using miles except one LIH-LAX.
Tickets were purchased in September for the May trip and we were the only persons at the time on the flight...I have Gold status.
Before going over to LIH at the Admirals Club in LAX is asked about the upgrade as it had not cleared....the Angel told me to make sure that the GA at LIH knew I had used miles for the upgrade and that it had not cleared.....and that this would take precedent over status upgrades....
Well I was not upgraded but another person was ----
This is the response from AA
Not all first/business class seats are available to be upgraded with miles. While your friend did receive a seat paid with miles, our upgrade awards are capacity controlled.
Because your seating upgrade was not confirmed, the request will be automatically transferred to the Airport Upgrade List when you check in. The order of the upgrade list will be determined first by elite status, then by the date/time the original upgrade request was made.
Based off of this information, regardless or the date/time the original upgrade request was made, a person with a higher status would be provided the upgraded seat, which was the case in your situation.
Is this the case that status tops miles and a paid ticket?
Thanks

Status establishes upgrade priority (Executive Platinum and Gold would have their upgrades over yours), and then within status tiers priority is by request date.
Next year some time (we don't know when just yet), upgrade priority will be
First, by status tier level: Executive Platinum, Platinum Pro, Platinum, Gold, non-status;
secondly, by recent EQD spend, ultimately by rolling last 12 month EQD spend.

Do mileage upgrades, SWUs, and 500 mile upgrades all compete for priority in the same bucket? That is, do higher status people in the queue for X inventory trump lower status in the queue for A? (In my case, as part of a 2 leg itinerary where I'm already confirmed in C for the international leg.)

Does anyone have an answer to the above post?
I'd like to fly BOS-MIA-MEX with a night in Miami - would this be one upgrade award or two (assuming I am not on the last flight in / first flight out)?

Need Advice: Direct Flight CNX Now 2 segments
AA Gold Status
Booked DFW-UIO direct, non-stop flight in February 2016 for 12/24 and requested UG w/ Miles + $$$........got notice today of schedule change, original flight no longer flys on that day of week.
In speaking to AA rep to reorganize our flight via MIA.....I asked if my upgrade request using Miles + Cash is still showing for new flights....she said it was and then she came back and said the DFW-MIA segment just cleared but the MIA-UIO had not yet. I asked about the difference in cash required for just the one segment vs both, given when initially requested back in February it was for the nonstop flight all the way to Quito which is 15k miles + $150 PP. she said I would only be charged $75 PP for the 1st segment and then additional $75 if the 2nd segment clears.
An hour later I received the Ticketing email and it showed a charge of $300 ($150 PP) for my husband and I and 30k miles were taken out of my account. Now I know a domestic UG Miles + $ is 15k (same # of miles) but only $75 PP.....so I was confused by it showing $300 instead of $150.
I checked my CC and there is a $300 charge pending.
Is this typical of UG with miles + $ ? This is the first time I have ever done this so I have no experience.
Am I going to have to request refund of $150 if the 2nd segment does not clear???? I really don't like being charged for something I have not received yet.
I could use others wisdom and experience as to how this process works.
Thank you all for your help in advance.
