Does anyone know if I can call and apply the SWU to first as soon as I make the Airpass reservation; generally speaking, I usually wait until a reservation is ticketing to apply SWU but these tickets won't get issued until 1-day before the flight and I'm looking at something about 6 weeks out. Appreciate any thoughts or experiences; either way, I'll report back with my experience when I get around to booking in the next week or so.
Quick answer: I call as soon as I book LAX - JFK instant upgrade and ask to apply SWU (as my helpful Airpass rep told me to do), and confirm the upgrade at time of booking. It may not "ticket" until late in the game, but they will confirm you in First.
