About Upgrades on AA

There are two types of upgrades available on American Airlines:

• Systemwide Upgrades
• Miles + Copay Upgrades

In general, both types of upgrades have availability determed by booking class C for upgrades to business and A for upgrades to first.

Note: availability in these booking classes can only be seen on AA.com if you have a systemwide upgrade available to redeem or by using Expertflyer.com (referral link) and searching segment-by-segment.

Our browser extension helps you find upgrade availability on Expertflyer.com and supports this website by sending the availability you find while having the browser extension enabled to our website.
