It’s not the longest flight, but one can dream. It would be nice to mvoight’s point to know if these are true op-ups to clear space in Y or if they’re truly just doing it out of the kindness of their hearts and to build loyalty, my guess is it’s the former.
If you are all on the same PNR you might want to remove it and check the upgrade offers on your app. I just accepted Y-PE on that same route for May for $176. Then after you accept it you can go back in and add their SWU's again. Just a thought to save some money. Downside is you will end up leaving them in Y unless you want to buy PE for all three and then still use the SWU's for them.
