Why are no upgrades with miles available on United?

Upvote:4

Most airlines limit the number of seats on each flight for upgrades.

Sometimes there's a fixed number from the outset, but otherwise they may release them in bits - a few at a time.

If it turns out tickets for a date are really popular, it's better for them to sell pricey tickets, and offer upgrades on the quieter days.

So some more may come up if you check regularly, but you may also have picked a really busy week - an event on (Edinburgh Fringe Festival? The Tattoo?) that the seats are booked for already, or are more limited than normal.
