C availability in OneWorld codeshares but not AA
 
I have a PE seat booked on a 777-300ER from DFW-LHR (AA50) and I've been waitlisted for an upgrade to business. ExpertFlyer shows 0 availability in C for AA, but shows 7 to 9 seats available in C for OneWorld codeshare partners on the same flight. I'm new to the whole upgrade and EF process, so is that normal, or something I can talk to an AA rep about to get that waitlist upgrade processed and confirmed? My apologies in advance if this has been asked before - I've used the search function, but either the thread doesn't exist already or I haven't found the right keywords to find it.

Welcome to FT. You need C space on the AA flight number.

C space being available under a codeshare flight number is normal and is completely irrelevant with regards to upgrade space on AA. For example, on many carriers C is a revenue business class fare bucket.

Airline fare letter codes are not standardized across an alliance. They can change for each airline. So don't assume that the meaning you know for a particular letter (such as C in this case) has the same meaning at any other OW airline. Chances are it doesn't.
