Feels like a waste after reading this thread, but we have no other opportunities to use the SWUs this year on better flights before they expire in December.
I was going to say look for a schedule change so you can reschedule and re-route through MIA thinking that there is at least one flight a day that has a widebody for SFO-MIA, then that would be a better use of the SWU.
But now I realize there are no widebodies scheduled that I can see for SFO-MIA.
Still, for a flight on F recliners I may prefer 5.5hrs + 5.5hrs (via MIA) than 3hrs + 7hrs (via DFW), not a fan of MIA airport though.
