Has anyone had issues with being able to check in if you’re on the international upgrade list? I consistently cannot check in until I get to the airport, which is a little stressful. I called AA to see if they could see any issues on my account, but they didn’t see anything.

Same issue for me last month on AA JFK-CDG.
Was not able to check-in online.

- wife’s upgrade cleared at T24 and she has an assigned seat in FC.
- upgrades did not clear for my son and I.

can only surmise that there was one seat available and she got it, while we got skipped because of 2 on the reservation. If that is truly the case, would switch our res splitting strategy in the future.

have rub into this at the airport when they ask whether you want to split up with one seat available, but first time this has happened to us ahead of time. And not that it should matter because I have a higher status, but I also have more LP than her….

wife said that there was one additional seat showing as available on the seat map (but certainly understand that it doesn’t necessarily indicate one available for upgrade)

Flying with a companion on Friday BOS to ORD (and then MCI) - currently on 5:22 flight with 5J inventory - wouldnt mind moving up to the 405 which has 7J inventory - EP with 625k rolling - best strategy is to try changing 24 hours before the earlier flight i'd like to take? And if me and companion are upgraded before then, might not be worth the risk? Thank you in advance

for tomorrows flight, the 4:05 now has 7J inventory, while my booked flight at 5:22 has just 3J inventory - as an EP, I can try to change to the 4:05 right at 24 hours prior, i.e. at the time at the changed flight departure versus my current departure? and presumably i'll have better luck for EP upgrade with that one. Also a dumb question, but in Expert Flyer, why is there a difference in C and J inventory if it's an E75 plane? thank you al

You'll need to wait until 24hrs before your ticketed flight to attempt a Same Day Flight Change. Unfortunately, at that point there's a good chance the 4:05 flight (currently J7) will have already cleared many of its upgrades down to J2 or J1 at roughly 24hrs before departure. You can always try calling now to see what the cost would be just to move to the 4:05 flight while it's still got a good amount of J availability. J and C are just different inventory buckets for the same first class cabin in the case of an E75 aircraft.

much appreciated! It was a mileage booking so I’m guessing I’m SOL but thanks again

In that case, try using the app/website to see what the mileage difference might be to change to the earlier flight. I'm often surprised how little it is to switch award bookings close-in.
