It books into O, but that's not the same thing as requiring O.
For example, to upgrade Air Canada Y/B fares, you need P space available, but it books you into R when it's confirmed.
I know for a fact that there was no O space on my flight when I upgraded mine, because it was the first thing I checked too.

You inspired me to keep checking in the absence of my "O" alert ^

Anyone have insight on upgrading Y > J? Stuck in Y on one of my legs (SYD-HND). ANA is showing only waitlist availability and don't want to transfer points only to not have any space free up. 3 tickets on the res.
What fare class is necessary ton upgrade Y > J? Any insight on when (if ever) ANA typically opens availability up? Doubt it, but would I have better luck with a *A upgrade?
Current breakdown: J9 C9 D9 Z4 P0 R0 G7 E1 Y9 B9 M9 U9 H9 Q9 V9 W9 S9 L9 K9 N2
Thanks!

If somebody wouldn't mind adding me to the Wiki it would be much appreciated.
Professional lurker so don't have the post count. Count me as one that had a Purchased/Not Ticketed reservation until this morning. Kudos to ANA.

This might be a silly question but does the ticket have to be booked on UA.com in order to process Star Alliance upgrade using UA points? Is it possible to request upgrade on UA.com with a booking made on NH site?

I checked the ANA site for F award availability and there was nothing for my date. Not sure if award availability is same as upgrade inventory though.

24 hours for the position and on the return on the next morning, but then I don't fly straight back home so it doesn't really matter for me where I stay.

I know this is HIGHLY subjective but is it worth it to upgrade to F on this segment?
I don't have UA miles so would need to transfer a 50K Ultimate Rewards to cover the cost.
I did look at the one way cost difference from J to F and it's looks like it would be a great redemption but just curious what y'all thought.
