Some intl flights not showing upgrade inventory in expert mode?
Looking to book a trip in late February and am noticing that some flights are not showing upgrade fare classes (or partner saver Y awards) as part of an expert mode search on United.com.
For example, on my flight date UA195 (MUC-SFO, 772) is not showing PZ, PN, RN or X:
J9 JN9 C9 D0 Z0 ZN0 P0 IN0 O9 ON9 A0 R0 Y9 YN9 B9 M9 E9 U9 H9 HN9 Q9 V9 W9 S9 T9 L9 K0 G0 XN9
Similarly, UA 160 (MUC-IAH, 763) is not showing PZ, PN, RN or X:
J9 JN9 C9 D8 Z1 ZN8 P0 IN0 O9 ON9 A9 R9 Y9 YN9 B9 M9 E9 U9 H9 HN9 Q9 V9 W9 S9 T9 L9 K0 G0 XN9
In the same search, UA 181 (FRA-DEN, 789 +1 day) shows all fare classes like normal if allowing for an overnight connection:
J9 JN9 C9 D7 Z0 ZN0 P0 PN0 PZ0 IN0 I0 O9 ON9 A3 R0 RN0 Y9 YN9 B9 M9 E9 U9 H9 HN9 Q9 V9 W9 S9 T1 L0 K0 G0 XN4 X0
But then again not if you have a same day connection (UA 181, FRA-DEN, 789). MUC-DEN does show same day upgrade space (also 789).
Seems somewhat random, but is highly annoying! Anyone else seeing this?
