Some of us still may have 2013 earned Choice Benefits in the bank along with our 2014 benefits so this makes a difference. I would like to redeem a 2013 Platinum CB for 4 SWUs that can be used on LAX-JFK transcons. I am and continue to be DM...What say you Dwyane?
This my concern... and I'll need some clarification. I still have SWU's left from my 2013 choice benefits. I booked BOS-JFK-SFO in May, specifically paying for a K fare to use the SWU to be #1 on the UG list. I'm assuming that people who still have old style SWU's to use can still use them on trans-con flights to get into BE on a space available basis since that's how it worked when we selected them. Would be nice to have clarification on that.
Also how will priority be for people using old SWU's vs. people using new Global Upgrades? I would guess that they should be treated the same, and then medallion level and time of request be the determiner?
Seems like anyone with SWU's end up having a Global Upgrade with a fare class restriction of K or higher to use it domestically or M+ to use it internatinally. Is that how it will work?
