Can Global Services upgrade united flights at more fare classes than is typically available for 1K with GPUs? Does it matter who the traveler is, or who owns the GPU?

GS can upgrade award tickets provided the miles came out of a GS account (might need to be their own, not sure). GS RPU/GPUs also upgrade into PN (P at times) as well

D1 got it right. It’s always subject to availability. I tried to upgrade a cross country flight and there was just no PN or P available so I could not get it. However, if there is a sellable seat you can use points to get that seat as a full award seat only no matter what - just costs a lot of points

Planning a trip to Rome and Naples with day trips to Tivoli and Pompeii. Is 1 week enough? I feel like reading through 3/4 day Rome and 2 day Naples itineraries, the trip seems rushed. I have unlimited PTO but my SO is limited in time (but luckily he can work extra hrs and then use less PTO). I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts? For reference, I did Venice-Florence-Rome in a week and it seemed okay but it also wasn’t as planned out
