What airline, after all, can compete with Envoy for longhaul flights? Even the A380 SQ offering doesn't touch it with a stick!

I just booked BA from IAD to London for $654, RT and it included two free nights of hotel in London (nice hotel too) over Thanksgiving. The hotel alone costs over $700 for two nights. I used to fly US on every international flight. After seeing the way they have nickel and dimed their preferred passengers I jumped to UA. But this offer was way too good to pass up.
