When is RN inventory released?

For a May trip to Europe, I could not find a single flight with RN inventory for all possible permutations of:

[IAH,IAD,ORD,EWR] X [AMS,LHR,FRA,CDG,BRU,DUS,TXL,HAM]

Does anyone know how many weeks before flight they typically release this inventory?

Thank you!

There is no answer to that question. It is not that simplistic. UA, as it should, is much more sophisticated in inventory management. It will depend on the past history load factors, UA's assessment of its ability to sell the premium cabins, ... this will take in account routing, season, day of the week, actual sales to date, ....

BTW, I have already booked and confirmed upgraded multiple SFO-Europe flights for late summer / early fall next year. So you have likely missed the early released R inventory and will need to wait until closer to travel.

I have never seen RN>R. So the simple answer to the question of when it is released is: only when R is released. And the only time R is regularly released is around about T-24.

Yup. From our perspective, all other releases of R are random.
