Upgradeable Fare Code
 
I know it's in the archives somewhere, but my FT search keeps timing out. Really quick, what is the code that shows availability for an (international) upgrade from Y to C (NC) when in "expert" mode on UA.com? Is it something we can see, or do I have to keep calling UA to check for availability?
Also, does anybody know the code that shows up on Expertflyer.com for that upgradeable fare?
Thanks! :)

I - It only shows up on award searches, so it's hit or miss as to whether it's useful.

"I" is the booking code for NC, if that is what you are looking for. On UA.com, you can access this availability in expert mode by trying to book an award ticket

And you need to do a dummy booking for a saver award, not a standard award.

not that you can do an intl saver award on united.bomb (err... "temporarily"). and no go on expertflyer, they don't do ua award/upgrade classes for availability.

No, intl saver awards are fine, it's the international STANDARD awards that can't be booked on ual.com, at least "temporarily" ;)
