Please familiarize yourself with these ground rules. Posts that do not conform to these rules will be summarily removed (without notice to the poster).
AA: "Upgrades are void if sold or advertised for sale for cash or other considerations. Members may designate another passenger to use their upgrades."
- Asking for SWU passes is not permitted! Donors will post here, and members are welcome to communicate via PM from there. If you don't see an open request, don't ask for one.
- In order to comply with AAdvantage T&C, SWU must given freely, with no strings attached. Requests for money, trading for SWU with different expiry or another airline’s instruments, or any other consideration, whether in the clear or via PM, are not allowed.
- Out of respect of our generous donors, please follow their instructions and contact them with the information they request.
- Donors can ultimately make the choice of recipient (tenured/contributive member, longer flight itineraries, international vs. domestic, etc.).
- Recipients are solely and entirely responsible for the payment of any fees or taxes associated with the use of a gifted SWU (e.g. United Kingdom Air Passenger Duty).
- This thread is NOT for the discussion of ethics, entitlement, or nomination of charities/groups as recipients. (Donating instruments for use in charity auctions or as prizes is prohibited by AAdvantage T&C.)
- If anybody offers to sell, buy, barter or trade SWU by PM, please contact the moderators immediately, as this is a violation of AAdvantage and FlyerTalk rules. Appropriate disciplinary action will be taken.

Sorry for the long post, but have "lost/wasted" several SWU's in the past, and bothered me that they could have been used by someone who knows how to do so...
I have two SWU's expiring Jan 31, 2019 -- as per OP and other's requests, please confirm:
1. These will be used for long-haul flights >6 hours
2. You have confirmation of upgrade on the flight sought (wait list is not good enough these days despite your status, as I have been made painfully aware so many times as others)
3. If you are unable to use them, please notify immediately so that I can re-post or try to use them myself--there are several itineraries I can try for but unsure my passport/visas can return in time.
PM me if interested. In the interest of time, if I am unable to confirm by Jan 5, I will expedite my PP/visa and travel myself on a couple of segments I know I can confirm.
Merry Christmas/Happy New Year!

Is there a way to search online at AA website for confirmable space?
If the itenarary starts on 1/31, overnight layover in ORD, long haul on 2/1 will that be alright since it started on Jan 31?
Are there taxes and fees assosciated with it?
this is incredibly generous of y’all and if I had them I would do the same.
