Why not ANA form, it's very specific to partner airline and United, ANA and Lufthansa have a bit of a tighter bond than the other *A carriers. Also, ANA's own website for upgrade requests is filled with broken links or is in really choppy english if at all
Not hating on ANA, I love flying them even in economy, wonderful airline, amazing FAs
I concur but will point out that we recently upgraded NH 835 / 836 (NRT-CGK-NRT on a 787) with UA PlusPoints. We could not get the *A mileage upgrade tool to w😧rk. It quoted a number of miles but we could not apply them.
