Upgrade flight only, booked with Avios
I booked a flight with Avios, which means I can't upgrade the flight online.
Tried calling the BA Gold line, which is just cutting off (I am overseas at the moment, hoping to see if I can get an upgrade, as there is availability at the moment, but it will probably be gone at the moment.
Any idea how I can talk to someone, or is it just a tough tomoatos at the moment

Perhaps call one of the other Exec Club numbers around the world that will be open at the time you're calling?

No, unfortuately and specifically for Avios bookings, you have to call the part of BAEC where your account is based, so probably Warrington if it's a UK address. Bremen can't handle UK/Ireland BAEC accounts.

I guess no point calling the US 'generic' number either?
