Can I upgrade to the next class of service using Self-Service Check-In?
Yes! If you are an AAdvantage elite-status member (AAdvantage Executive Platinum, AAdvantage Platinum or AAdvantage Gold), or are a regular AAdvantage member flying with an unrestricted ticket, you’ll be given the opportunity to upgrade to the next class of service (e.g., First Class, Business Class) on your American Airlines flight. Please note: when requesting an upgrade, all passengers in your reservation that are checking in with you must request an upgrade. If you do not have enough electronic upgrades in your account to cover the requested itinerary, you may purchase them at the Self-Service Check-In machine. Some international flights may not be eligible for electronic upgrades.
