You have to realize that some people are so unhappy with their miserable life that they will always try to bring other people down who are happier then them.

As opposed to investing to keep higher tier elites happy and coming back much more often?

When I looked at your post, I thought that you got upgraded out of Fort Wayne, then I remembered that Fort Wayne was FWA. What does FTW mean?

Free luggage each way $50 X2 = $100
(2) mixed drinks each way $16X2 = $32
Included snacks versus purchase X2 = $18.00
Larger seat, EC cost as reference X2 = $90.00
Total= $240.0
Congratulations, OP, on your astute purchase.

I could care less who is in F, I just don't understand this FCM fever where people outlay one-two hundred dollars for an inferior product and feel like they won the lottery.

As I had stated, as a kettle I can see why it would be attractive, but you are confusing cost with actual value.

Well even if you take my UG I will get to my destination at the same time and with $100 more in my pocket, and will enjoy that flight later this year in Intl BE on a V fare using my GUCs, but yes this time you are the "winner".
