I'm trying to upgrade SYD-LAX/SFO-JFK-LAX/SFO-SYD. There's no R space on the p.s. transcon segments, but I'm not worried about that (and in my experience they always clear fairly easily), and I've found SYD-LAX R space. However I can't find anything on the return, either SFO-SYD or LAX-SYD. Travel dates are early to mid August; happy to fly midweek if that helps.
Any anecdotal evidence on my likelihood of clearing the upgrade list? Or should I make some other plan?

UA treats R like other inventory buckets with married segment logic, so you will only see the level of R that reflects the most restrictive flight.
its critical to search segment by segment to know true R.
This tip was a lifesaver. Thanks!
