C space is what you need for an SWU upgrade, BUT you must search ExpertFlyer using the "Awards and Upgrades" section to see the correct C space. If you search using the "Flight Availability" function then any C space you see doesn't correlate to upgrades. I'd be shocked if an AA metal flight to SYD is actually C7.
So, I thought I was using the Awards section. Am I not?
