Did you mean transcontinental US? I didn't think you can use these across the ocean unless you're counting going to the Caribbean as TransAtlantic.

BXP1 Upgrade Inventory Same as SWU Inventory?
If AA's site shows systemwide upgrades available on a given flight, can I assume that BXP1 Business Extra upgrades can also be used?
|
BXP1s are for North America flights, but if you wish to use an SWU for a N. America flight, then yes, same inventory (C is the inventory code)

Same inventory bucket but I believe there are fare class restrictions for business extra upgrades. I remember a couple of years ago needing to upfare to an eligible fare class ..it wasn't a large cost but not sure what rules are in place these days.

I would think so since a Plat Pro and EXP is more likely to be a buyer of a J to get status. and would want to use a J-F upgrade on a LAX-JFK etc but if thats not your thing then no. its a waste. maybe instead of using stickers for a companion though u could use the cert? |
