I was thinking of a transcon upgrade from economy to business from SFO to JFK but I don't see many spots available for upgrade when I called in on one or two flights. As I don't have expert flyer, am I able to ascertain spots if I look for open business mile-saver awards or are upgrades still an entirely different beast?

Sorry for the questions, just trying to figure out what to do.
Upgrade space is different from business sAAver space, although if you see sAAver space it can be a decently good indication that upgrade space is there too. There are a lot more instances though where AA might release upgrade space but no business sAAver space, so you will potentially he missing out on some options.
