Newbie Paid Upgrade Question
Folks, BA flyer here. I have a business transatlantic ticket next week on BA which includes a JFK-SFO sector which has booked into economy but is issued on the AA flight number. Can't seem to see any possibility to buy an upgrade when I access the booking on AA.com. Does anyone know if this is likely to be possible? For what it is worth the flight in question is showing F0 A0 J4 D4 I0

When it comes time to check-in, for flights that have excess availability up front, AA will sometimes offer buy-up opportunities when you check-in online, via the AA app, or at an airport kiosk (called LFBUs). But on a JFK-SFO flight that is already down to J4, that is highly unlikely.
