But with my latest booking it doesn't give me any option to hit a Travel Options button. And if I go to united.com/economyplus, put in my PNR I just get back to my intinerary and again there is no option to upgrade.

The flight I have booked is a multiple leg journey (LHR-LAX-SAN-ORD-IAD-LHR), so does this mean that E+ on all segments is sold out or am I doing something fundamentally wrong here?

Thanks in advance for any help. I am not looking for a freebie, I just want to be able to pay for more legroom in economy.

Cheers!
