Turns out even with available reward seats, Platnium upgrades aren’t available
Purchased a Flex fare with a domestic and international leg, all with separate VA flight number on the same PNR. Called to upgrade the domestic leg to business using one of the 4 available upgrades. Was told, yes reward seats are available. And no you can’t upgrade the domestic leg because it is considered an international flight despite it being a domestic leg and completely different flight number to the international leg.
Had always thought this benefit was pretty useless, but this just takes the cake.
