is there any pattern to BR availability beyond the T-14 window?
I found a random date all the way like 3 months away, but only that one day among the entire month has BR availability in J. Wondering if it is a glitch.

Hi There, I realize that not many people were getting the "Error !" without a code, but today, for the first time, I got the Error Code 511, which says that Upgrade is not Available. This makes me so happy because now at least it appears that the website is working like it is supposed to and I may have a shot of getting the upgrade should availability become available. I complained to United, the Better Business Bureau, and Star Alliance. I'm not sure which one worked to encourage the fixing of the site after 3 months of trying. Yippee!

I'm getting the same "Error !" message from United's SAUA site. I have confirmed with Eva Air that there are 8 (EIGHT) Z class upgrade availability on my flight. I booked using the eligible B class fare. As I also have enough Aeroplan miles, I even tried AP's SAUA site. It shows upgrade available for my flight but when I proceed to confirm the upgrade, I also get an error message from Aeroplan "error code 057.SAU". Is the upgrade system broken? I'm getting errors on 2 separate Star Alliance partners...

We often use UA miles for BR royal laurel service. JFK to Taipei and/or Bkk.
For the lowest mileage award (80K one way), inventory usually only available 48-72 hrs out. For the higher 175K one way, plenty of inventory months out.

LAX seems to be okay because there's 3 flights.
IAH is absolutely 0. From what I've been hearing EVA is doing $3500 RT (J)from IAH-TPE-XXX (somewhere short distance from TPE in asia). And than on top of that buy 3 get 1. So really it's $2625 RT/pax per family of 4?

I'm also seeing basically 0 from ORD. It was strange, because they seemed to just stop opening space for flights in the beginning of May. Before that, there was fairly consistent space being opened at T-14 or T-30. Tons of J revenue seats available on the days I want, but starting to think I should just bite the bullet and go the upgrade route.

BR is known to be stingy with award seats and sometimes will suddenly cut everyone off, including their own members, if they feel too many are going out and not enough rev pax.
