Another CO SHARE feature you'll like.
I stumbled across the same issue myself. If for example, you select one routing of the outbound portion of your itinerary as AAA-BBB-CCC-DDD and availability is as follows:

AAA-BBB RN9
BBB-CCC RN9
CCC-DDD RN0

The reservation detail reports back that RN space is 0 for each of the segments. (The lowest available RN space for any one of the individual segments.)
BTW.....ExpertFlyer reports back the same misinformation that the UA website reports. You still need to do an individual segment search on EF.


You need to search each segment individually to determine the actual available space. Once booked, upgrade space can be reserved and booked for each segment where RN>0
