According to the article in Korean Newspaper,
( http://news.airportal.go.kr/newshome...(I)®ionkey= )
OZ does op-op when economy is full.
Priority is
OZ Platinum/Diamond -> *G -> OZ Gold -> *S.
Also, UA' priority order might be as follow;
UA GS/1K/1P -> *G -> UA 2P -> *S
( http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=328066 )
How about op-up of other * airlines ?

UA Mileage Plus SWUs can be used to upgrade.
- This upgrade may be used on a standby basis, subject to availability, on the day of travel on any eligible LH flight.
- Valid in all booking classes except when booked in LH booking classes X, I, O, R, N, W and E.
- This upgrade requires a 14-day advanced notification to MP in order to print and mail the certificate for presentation to LH on the day of departure.

Does anyone have a link to the current thread on UA Mileage Upgrades on *A? I realize that it was suspended, but can't find the discussion.

No personal experience, but from what I have read, yes, you can use a UA SWU to upgrade a code share flight operated by UA. However, as I understand it, these are day of flight only upgrades, which sort of reduces one of the big benefits of SWU certs.

Can I use SWU on Z LH Fare?
I know UA does not allow Bus to First upgrade on Z, but does LH allow me to use (standby basis, of course) SWU to upgrade Z to F? LH metal, of course.
--edit: found the answer. Yes.

Any advice - Systemwide upgrade on S class ticket
Have several Systemwides due to expire at end of year, so booked flights to London over Thanksgiving. UAL came out with a Fall holiday sale, got a nice ticket (SFO <-> LHR nonstop for $750). Tried to use my systemwides, said not eligible.
Anyone have any advice?

i) Buy an appropriate upgradeable fare class.
ii) Do not cross post (against the FT TOS).
