Poug not working
Father-in-law (BA blue) has a POUG offer visible on the return leg of domestic trip within MMB. Whenever he tries to upgrade he gets a message saying "sorry this fare cannot be upgraded online, please contact your local service centre"
Is this likely to be upgraded (for the c£90 fee) by phoning in or a waste of time? He's not keen on a long phone queue to be told it's not happening!

Assuming it’s inbound to LHR, it won’t make a difference as there are no restrictions on those.
It’s actually a very good time for AUPs from LHR, particularly on shorthaul, as flights are so empty because of the cap and it’s last-minute business customers who haven’t been able to buy tickets. I’ve been offered 2 x £70 AUPs in the last week, the first time it’s been under £100 since last year.

I'm seeing the opposite for short-haul EU flights. The flights from LHR are going out with small Club cabins (3 or 4 rows only) and no POUG's on offer, whilst the flights back to LHR have Club cabins stretching back to row 10 and POUGs being offered during OLCI.
