Not sure if there are any A380s out of JFK and that match your TXL connection
I really liked both WT and WT+ on BA A380s upper deck, window seat.
The window seat on the 2nd deck has a deep narrow cabinet between the window and the seat which is great to store anything you want and it is also a nice surface to put your phone, drink, etc without having to rely on the tray table.
I'm 6' and I found the WT seat comfortable enough.
I am currently only GLD (no advances seat selection) but I was able to select window seats on upper deck at T-24 check in.

Update: Thanks to all's help. I was able to call into AA and find P inventory for WT+ and pay the fare difference (which was about 15% of the total fare) without a change fee. Kept the same Record Locator. To claim an exit row seat in WT, it would have cost me about 8% of the total fare. So hopefully its a good value.

Hi everyone: I am in the same boat with WT flights booked with AA, hoping to buy up to WT+. I called AA several times and there is only P inventory on one of the 2 transatlantic flights, so there is no way to buy up to that (I'd have to buy-up to W, which is too expensive).
I'm hoping to try to buy-up at check-in at least for the flight that shows P inventory -- question is, would it be better to check in online for that flight, or check in at the airport, in terms of chance to have the opportunity to buy up? Thanks!
