Other than a Dec flight (YYC to FRA to DXB, vice versa on the way back) I don't have any other trips in 2008. Is there a cheap (or perhaps even free) way to earn the additional 42 miles?

Thanks!
Add a segment to the trip if you really want the certs.

Ask yourself this. What am I going to do with the 2 SWUs? Am I going to take a trip sometime between now and Feb 28, 2009 where I will greatly benefit from the comfort of front cabin? If yes to that question, does the comfort for said trip outweigh the time and hassle of adding a segment to a trip or doing another trip to get the 42 miles?
