9W upgrade voucher, seat availability
I have collected 8 of the required 10 vouchers to upgrade two economy tickets to business class from BOM-EWR (one way only). Are the award seats on Premiere shared by those doing miles upgrade and those doing voucher upgrades ? How many seats do you reckon are available in premiere for those who wish to upgrade using vouchers. The flight is planned for May and I am really thinking early about this.
Thanks!!
Thanks!!

you are right to plan ahead since the number of seats for awards & upgrades are very limited....
i use a particular travel agent to book all my tickets since they are extremely good with getting my voucher & miles upgrades through with 9w....if you are interested then i can pass on their details to you via pm....

LHR-BOM 9W F - oct 31st....here's the trouble...
doing 2 seperate tickets...ORD-LHR on AA F...and 2nd ticket LHR-BOM-LHR on 9W F..
AA said they wont issue BP for onward flight from LHR on 9W since it is a "seperate" ticket..have 2hrs connecting time...think its enuf to cross Passport control/switch terminals and still make it to check-in before the 1hr minimum time?
