Hopefully I will use the miles from the GS + CC sign up bonus to go to Europe in LH F. Super hopefully they open up F on the A380!
Seriously? 11 nights all-inclusive for 9,000 miles? That seems wrong.....

J class BNE-CLT so we can attend next year's poetry slam! LOL
OK seriously................this year will see my husband's account with enough for J class BNE-SJO with stop in LAX (2013 trip) but since it's hard to get NZ in J class and I don't want to route via Asia this time it will probably be Y.
My account will be used for the BNE-Spain trip in 2014 probably in J but maybe F if there are enough promos between now and then.
I budget 2-3 years of Grand Slamming per 2 x J tickets and plan pretty far ahead. We also have AA miles from Citibank, SQ from Amex and DJ also from Amex and Visa so we won't be buying major tickets for many years to come although we will need the occasional LCC for short hops at times.

Had 317k on the account from previous buy miles with x % off promos, and initially just wanted to top off the account to get to 360k in order to book 4 business tickets for the family to see the parents in winter. Now I'll end up with 140k from the promo... still toying with the idead to blow it all on 4 F tickets for 440k or save the 97k for a rainy day.
