Yup, they will, and have, flown with empty Biz seats internationally.

In the last ten years or so of flying to Asia about twice a year got my first op up (as did quite a few others) earlier this year

Of course they cancelled my return flight, but that's another story

But they do sell quite a few upgrades using Miles and Ca$h in addition to the SWUs that 1K can use. Er, GPUs
