I've only got SWUs left this year anyway, but funny how the SSWU has less value depending where you travel to.
Only if you look at one side of the equation.

There is far, far less of a premium to pay to use a SWU to Asia than there is to the UK. Using a SWU to the UK will put you out $2100 minimum. You can still upgrade with SWU off H fares to Asia, say for about $2000 all-in to BKK via HKG.

There are now U fares to BKK and SIN via HKG regularly offered for $2400, upgradable at time of booking.
