I am going with my parents to Europe in early June and they want to use combo of miles/paid tixs (thanks mom and dad, they are paying! ^)
So I found an option that would take us on VS from SFO-LHR-SFO in Upper Class and my ticket would be the paid "Z" ticket.
I am a bit torn since I could be taking advantage of 3X EQM if I fly UA to LHR but because of the dep/arrival times I will most likely have to take the N/S on the 777 with old seats. I may be able to go outboud via Ord on 763 but return is for sure on the 777
My quetion I guess is should I just fly VS in Upper and have the miles go into my Continental acct or bite the bullet and fly UA for the EQM?????
Hard decision since I want to hit 1k this year and as of June will have about 50K under my belt.
I flew VS in Upper about 5 years ago and I thought it was pretty nice, even back then
