Anyone tried to go from DFW to OGG on AA and use a SWU successfully? Debating going in October, but not sure if FC typically fills up before upgrades clear.

Haven't tried that particular route but AA's own search will show SWU availability. If there's no space left to confirm at booking, use ExpertFlyer to check availability and try to increase your odds in the SWU lottery. I managed to get DFW-HKG over Christmas that way

There aren't any available currently - just trying to gauge how busy of a market that is, and whether I should bite the bullet and use 135k per person round trip to book business award travel.

To all the people searching PGs, i would suggest not to go with any online bookings like nestaway, zolostays.

The ideal thing is to land in hyderabad, book a hotel for two days and then go to office nearby area and search for PGs, you will get 100+ pgs in each location. Have a look at the room size, ventilation , bed size , if required taste the food also before booking PG. In case you need flat then also you will see " To let " boards everywhere, just call the number

At KPMG, was going to go up for M last year but it would have been a tad early (only 2.5 years at senior) so I decided to push it back to this year. This year, after talking about my business case since last summer, I was now just told I won’t even be given the opportunity to go up for M at all, with very weak reasoning. I pour a lot of time and effort into my job and this felt like a true sand banging. Has this happened to anyone else? Is it firm being cheap w/ the current economy? TIA.
