1/26/15 NRT to ORD UA 882 (R7)

When I book them as a round trip, UA837 comes up with R0

Yeah, just a display bug — married-segment logic controls display of upgrade inventory (but not actual upgrades). Book, upgrade.

When looking for R availability, viewing connecting flights in the shopping path is not as reliable as viewing each flight separately. If R shows 0 when booking a connecting flight, but, is available when viewing separately, then, as SEA1K4EVR, has mentioned you will be able to upgrade it after it’s ticketed (e.g. After ticketing, view reservation and then select the 'upgrade reservation' link found toward the top of the itinerary). Also, one good tip to note is that, when upgrading after ticketing, the process will also waitlist you for any segments that may not be available.
