I looked up JL's mileage upgrade, it's 45,000 miles, which translates into way too many Marriott points than I think it's worth, and not even sure JL can upgrade if it's not their ticket. Sure wish AA would finally implement JL upgrades with SWUs or miles... I have a feeling it's coming with the recent QF announcement but likely not soon enough.

Red/bold, my emphasis.

Prepandemic, I used SWU to UG from D to First Class (the 77W metal on AA). From recollection only, AA actually UG'd me on 3 contiguous flights (all had F). If I found the exact routing, I'd post an update. BTW, I even had STOP-OVER (more than 24 hours)! I never thought that was possible!
