Ah! I'm "getting it" now! *light bulb just turned on* I just checked out AS's upgrades, if I'm understanding correctly, you can upgrade for 5,000 ea. way??? To use your miles for upgrades for planned trips, esp. when you know how to find a good deal, makes perfect sense. Is is it really only 5,000 ea. way/per upgrade? I want to make sure I'm understanding correctly... For instance a paid for trip to Europe (or anywhere) could be upgraded to Bus. for 10,000 RT, and F for 20,000 RT? Now *that* is value! If this is how it works, then I'll be really excited to take my first FC trip!

Now I just need to hone my cheap tix 'skills'...
