I can't seem to figure out how to search upgradeable fares.

Can anyone tell me how to do it?

Thanks,
Defendem
Not to burst your bubble, but I would not expect to have any luck applying an instrument upgrade on this flight. The only time when I was able to score it was out of sheer dumb luck...UA pretty much zeroes out the p.s. R fare bucket because they can sell all of the seats up front.
