I was having the same problem; there's definitely some phantom availability on the United website. Call in and ask them to tell you which days they still have availability on 495/494 (YYZ-MUC and back). I know when I did there was nothing on 495 on the 24th or 25th and I got the last seat on the 23rd and there was one left on the 26th.
Got the last seat on 494 back on the 6th. (In F; might still be C availability.)
Have them find and grab the 494/495 legs for you then add on whatever legs you need to get to/from Toronto (which itself isn't a bad place to overnight).
Best Part: Current Mileage Plus RDM balance: 769. Happy to contribute to Jeff's Q4 results.
So, Oktoberfest FT mini-do? I'm there the 23rd through 6th but will probably trek around the rest of Deutschland a bit.

Happy to help but all the credit goes to my fellow BA blogger Ben. I am just so happy that I got mine booked and now down to 3241 UA miles and they can just go away! ^

LOL!!! I am exactly in the same place. Just spent 45 minutes on line with UA and no way to get from SFO-YYZ. So I just left it YYZ-MUC for now and will either buy my own or get something as it opens. There is a very good AC flight both ways, just no availability.
I was going to try to do during Oktoberfest, but decided it would be too busy for hotels then. So I am going early Sept.

Don't be worried about finding a hotel during Oktoberfest. It is such an amazing experience and worth going to at least one time (maybe more)!

Website availability appears to differ from actual seat availability. I had to call united.com support to complete my reservation. Please don't yell at me. We all know this one isn't going to last and there wasn't any way to book online.

No no that is fine. Ben even says call when you find space as much can NOT be done online!^

I just did a simple search for BKK-YYZ and for "Number of Flights to Display" I entered it as 50. The itinerary pops up close to the bottom of the list, but it wouldn't give me the TG-LH-LH option, so I changed it online after the ticket was issued.
