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" 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.
