Booked international flight with points on AA. I’m platinum status. Would love to get upgraded. I have tons of 500 mile upgrades. Would calling help? Is it possible to get upgraded on an int’l flight?

I am fairly certain that you can’t use the 500 mile upgrades for international upgrades. Maybe for Canada and Mexico but for other destinations you will have to use miles to upgrade.

No, AA doesn’t upgrade travel paid for by points

like

....If you used points to book?

You cannot upgrade international flights where you used points. Regardless of payment method, you cannot upgrade using 500 mile upgrades (exception of north and Central America countries).

Only exec plat can get upgraded on award flights. 500 mile upgrades only work for a handful of NA countries

500 mile upgrades are only for domestic and select NA flights (think DFW to MEX). System wide upgrades and points are the only way to get an international upgrade other than paying for it

Systemwides don’t work on award tickets unfortunately

What everyone is saying is that AA sucks

Yeah

You can get free access to the admirals club when traveling international as American since you’ll be seen as Sapphire with one world. Doesn’t apply for domestic AA flights tho

You can access the lounges in the US if you will be boarding an international flight e.g. DFW to LHR
