If you have an I/O award with an X or I segment you can upgrade the lower segment(s) to the highest level of the award. So X's can go to I's and I's can go to O's as long as that upgrade is no higher then the original ticket.
"[A]s long as that upgrade is no higher then the original ticket."
Do you mean "original ticket" or "original maximum award level claimed?"
I have a first class saver award to SYD. My two United domestic segments are in X (waitlisted for I), and one international regional segment in I. 5 segments are in O. Can I get my maximum award level originally claimed if the higher class opens up for the three non-O segments?.
