If you are trying to use an SWU, again the agent should be able to clear just the domestic leg and waitlist the international leg(s).
I would call back and be very specific that you want to clear just the domestic leg, even if the international upgrade is not available. If the first agent can’t help you, ask for a supervisor.

so, I’ve taken my chances each time. I’d love to learn that you are correct for future upgrades. Have you seen this in writing anywhere? I’ve looked for it but I have not found it.

If I interpreted what you are saying correctly, I have never been successful and trying to do this. In fact, the opposite is true. They will waitlist me on the transcon and not even bother with the domestic portion because – and I’ve been told this each time for the last few years – that if I cleared the domestic on an SWU, the eVIP-U will be “marked” as used.

interesting, thanks. I’ve asked every time I called over several years and never any luck.

I have never been able to pull an SWU, though, once a leg has cleared—even if the original fare class was available. Maybe that was something you could do back in the day (or with a high helix score), but I have not been able to do it.

Via LAX/MIA and via DFW is very much alive, with sporadic availability
(combination of HKG-LAX/MIA-CUN and HKG-DFW-CUN).
Routing via NYC needs some "bruteforce" trial and error.
