Need Upgrade Advice
I have a SWU that expires at the end of October and I have a flight from SFO to FRA on Nov 1. Is there any possible way to have my SWU extended so that I can use it on my FRA flight?

I wonder if checking in online before midnight on October 31 would work?

Thanks for all the advice. Unfortunately, none of the suggestions will work. I've called the 1K International Desk and gotten a "tough luck" answer. I've upgraded on-line and a November expiring SWU gets taken out not the October one.

If you can't bring the horse to the noose, bring the noose to the horse...
Can you change your departure to Oct 31?
