Thanks
The PNR is travel industry speak for your booking in the airline system. It stands for Passenger Name Record. Your 6 character airline booking reference is sometimes referred to as a PNR, though strictly speaking that is a PNR Locator

BA’s airline system will treat this as a travel agent booking (BA Holidays is technically a travel agent / tour operator and a separate company, although owned by BA).

You’re not going to see any special offers in the booking as a result, except possibly when online checkin opens. Your best bet in advance would be during any sale periods, when the cash price for WT+ might be lower, reducing the upgrade price.

At the airport, you can ask either at the ticketing desk or the check in counter (who may or may not send you to the ticketing desk). You’d probably only find a decent price in the event of an oversold economy cabin, in which case you might also get a free upgrade, but obviously you have no idea whether you’d be the lucky one.
