Upgrade using Avios BA flight booked through Iberia website

Hopefully a simple question for the FT experts. I’ve booked LHR-JNB in W through Iberia.com as it was half the price of booking through BA, and there is Avios availability in J. Can I upgrade, and if so, how?

I’ve got an Iberia Plus account. Does this help?

If you want to upgrade through BAEC, you can't. If you want to upgrade through IB, you can and you need to contact them.

Would someone be kind enough to tell me how many Avios I would need to upgrade from W to J through Iberia? I’m not familiar with the airline but gather it isn’t quite the same as BA. Also, do they charge more tax for the upgrade?

That is a question for the Iberia forum.
