I was recently on an 'H" fare TATL and I could have routed via an LH flight out of FRA. But it would have been less than 24 hours before the flight departed. Would the UA system have denied me? Would the upgrade request be successful? Based on availability (J9C0D0) it would have been waitlisted if UA allowed it. Just curious.

Thanks,

This was not an issue in the SWU/GPU days pre Dec-2019, Now however, the system won't let you do it online within 24 hours (at least per my one experience trying to apply my PP to a colleague's ticket). Whether there's a workaround others will have to weigh in on.
