You'll then be returned itineraries with Y fares priced out and the availability of upgrades displayed.
OK, thanks!!

Edit: Arg! My next flight is BOS-LGA, which has refundable A fares that are cheaper than Y fares. So A fares keep showing up when I search for Y. Does that mean this method won't work to check for V?
