Swu is a 'system wide upgrade that pm and dm can get as one of their medallion gifts.
On domestic flights, you can use it on a K fare or higher to get upgraded (if available inventory, Z fare). On international flights, they can only be used with Y, B, or M fares.
The only way for a medallion to get upgraded on an intl flight is if the flight is overbooked, then they might opup (operational upgrade) you. Don't fly expecting opus, though
