Newbie here,

I just booked 2 class B tickets on BR, SFO-TPE round trip, departure 10/25/19. I tried to upgrade using SAUA through UA but got an 'unavailable' reply. After reading more here I checked expertflyer and confirmed no I seats available. What's the likelihood that an upgrade will become available? I had originally planned to fly Premium Economy but then saw that I had enough miles to upgrade to business from a class B ticket. If it's unlikely that the upgrade becomes available I can cancel the B tickets and re-book PE (I could also upgrade from PE but the cost of a K class ticket is significantly higher) If it's ultimately likely that an upgrade will become available, what's the best way to make it happen; attempt to book every week between now and October then more frequently as the departure date approaches?

Thanks for any advice
