Thank you everyone! Today I was able to purchase this flight on United in Econ. (For some reason it wouldn't let me purchase multi-city trip of ATH - FRA in Econ and then FRA - IAH in Prem Econ.) So I bought an economy flight Y fare the entire way and applied 40 PP to be waitlisted for Polaris. Probably won't work, but we'll see... There are 20 open Biz Class seats on the seat map. But if it doesn't work, oh well. Thanks everyone!
if you want to upgrade a UA flight on an LH ticket you would not use this form. The form is to upgrade LH-operated flights. For LH-coded UA-operated flights you would use the same procedure you'd use on your UA-coded flight from your reservation on united.com
