Expertflyer is only showing upgrade (J) availability, UA and A3 disagree.
Are you trying to upgrade with UA or A3 miles rather than TK Miles&Smiles miles? If you're trying to redeem partner miles, you would need award inventory which is "I".
"J" fare bucket upgrades are only for TK Miles&Smiles upgrades.
