Admittedly these aren't the easiest to use as you have to do a fair bit of hunting on EF, but I was able to use one of my SWUs with the ex-Europe fares found
here on FT and received confirmed upgrades into first on AA's 77W and 321T back to LAX thanks to some wonderfully helpful EXP phone agents. It is in no way maximized for EQM/RDM earning as I'm a novice, but I'm pretty excited for trip.
