Hi,

I've heard on more than one topic folks saying that they always use their awards to fly 1st Class. Is this the majority of you? I just don't get it. I'd *way* much rather have 2 or 3 award tix to Europe flying coach than one award ticket in 1st. (Ex: AA is 125,000 for F to Eur, and 40,000 (or 60,000 peak) for Y). Is there something I'm missing? I suppose maybe the amount that you would pay for the same 1st Class ticket would give the award more value to the dollar, is this it? Even so I'd rather enjoy more awards, rather than doing it once 'in style'. It seems F is over-rated. Then again I've never flown it so maybe therein lies the issue. Apparently I don't know what I'm missing. Is it the alcoholic beverages, or? I think I'll take my V-8 on ice and cloth seats, thus quenching that travel bug a bit more often!
