Using the 2 GGUs at this time feels more like using a "skip ahead of the 75Ks" card, rather than a "confirm your upgrade in advance so you can confidently make travel decisions based on being in First".

If it were just me I probably would have waited, especially as it's now F4 (was F6). But with a companion I think it's risky to assume we'll get U2 again during the comp window.
