Thanks, yes RT, and yes 1/2 of domestics cleared. Both me & my kid, so using all 4 SWU's in one shot.
PHL - LAX (on the 332) not yet cleared, but in the Y+ section or whatever we are calling it these days - though as an EP with highish EQD, i still like my chances on that.
LAX - HKG - cleared and in the mini-cabin
HKG - DFW - Cleared not in mini-cabin though - it's full
DFW - PHL - cleared on the 321 (meh)

That DFW was much harder to find, the LAX was a piece of cake.
