I'm taking my 78 YO mother on a short getaway this coming Tuesday. I got two VERY cheap tickets BWI-SEA (with connections in ORD) during one of the Southwest fare matching deals.

I know this is a subjective question but is it "dumb" to use 60,000 miles to upgrade these flights. Right now we have some "average" E+ seats in a VERY full (well, according to the seat map) Y cabins.

I've got about 120K miles in my account and really don't have any other plans to use them.

Do others think this transcon is worth upgrading w/miles?????
