BA Holidays - Avios upgrade issue
Am trying to upgrade the BA leg of a 2 flight sector on a BA Holidays booking. I'm sure I've done this in the past, but having called the agent told me it's not possible as they can't upgrade a single leg of a flight booking with Avios and it would have to be a cash upgrade.
Is that correct, or should I call back later to have another go?

P.S. Clicked on this thread as was intrigued why you would be trying to avoid an upgrade! Predictive text huh!

Unless things have changed recently, the agent is wrong. I've recently upgraded the return Trans Atlantic portion of a GLA - LGW - MCO from WT+ to J using Avios. The domestic legs remained in economy, and the out bound stayed at WT+. HUCA.

HUACA I'd say for a start.
