I'm curious if anyone has had recent luck with other international destinations other than LHR? My searches lately have been fairly unsuccessful.
I recently applied 4 SWUs to a JFK - DOH flight in October 2023 at the time of booking after finding C space in EF and another SWU to a DFW-OGG flight in May (not an international destination). The last SWU was an error - I got an alert from EF that C space had become available and selected a business seat, which then somehow disappeared - but called the EXP desk and they said they were honoring this 'system glitch' for CKs and EXPs. They reticketed the reservation and I'm very happy to have a lie-flat seat for this 8.5 hour flight to Maui.
