I did this run twice this year, for my meeting, SWUs did not clear in fact; last flight DFW/HKG portion 29SWU request and I was at number 23. If you are counting on your SWUs this may not be the line for you.

Early December weekend mileage run, DFW-HKG, I was number 41 going and 38 coming home. yikes. Would hope earlier in the year the odds are better. I was sitting among many doing just what I was doing a mileage run.

How long ago did you book? How far in advance did you request the SWU? Did it clear at booking or at the gate? DFW-HKG upgrades seem to have gotten a whole lot harder recently.

Late fall. Cleared before day of departure but don't remember the specific time frame. I've found being a thru passenger works out well but it would be interesting to find out how often they clear on this route.

Flew it 1/16 and returned 1/20. Grabbed 2 J seats when Ex flyer showed C 5 on 1/15.The return on20th appeared like a sure thing as there were 25 empty seats as of 1/18. but in fact we did not clear for return.
Must have been caused by me changing on 1/15 from AA FFP # to US #s. At HKG check in they confirmed we were #'s 19 and 20. Not sure why we lost so much priority for tix purchased 11/9/14 but row 18 wasn't unbearable and met a very good fellow named Andy from DFW. Good news is that our US account reflects Chairman Preferred as of today.

On the date I checked, bumping up from the Q fare to the S fare increased the ticker price from $770 to $1,134. Not worth it, IMO.

Also for those who have been looking, it looks like the price has been fluctuating on dates for this route quite a bit. It's been ranging from $770 to mid-high $800s. I think AA has been playing a game with the price here. I'm seeing lots of $770 availability again today, but it was gone yesterday.
