I use miles for transcon upgrades all the time. I usually manage to earn 11-12K RDM (with the 100% rdm bonus) on a transcon, so spending 15K to upgrade a "leg" is a no brainer, especially on same day returns.
I like your logic. I'll earn back the miles soon enough and I think mom will enjoy the experience and be a little more comfortable on the long trip.
I pulled the trigger and we both cleared instantly. I chose 2C/2D on all flights (320/752/752/752) - good choice????
Thank you all for your input - much appreciated!!!!!
