Flying AA to Italy ... what’s the best way to upgrade? Can I buy upgrades from someone else? Similar to United plus point upgrades?

You can probably get someone to use an SWU on you but it requires award space on the flight.

Technically a different fare bucket/RBD than award space except for international first class. But still limited based on how many seats AA RM thinks they’ll actually be able to sell. That’s for clearing an upgrade in advance. At the gate, all empty premium cabin seats will be distributed to those on the upgrade list. Note that while SWUs are freely transferable, selling them is against AAdvantage terms and conditions and AA regularly tried to identify people doing that and shut down accounts. As SWUs all expire at the end of January each year, you’ll also find this a tough time of year to persuade someone to part with SWUs, whereas they were pretty easy to find in December/January.

B) tell him to order an Uber since you know his work would pay for it

C) tell him to not be lazy and walk half a mile to the nearest public transportation stop, with all that luggage, and take public transit
