As far as coach, I am lucky and being PLT for life with AA I get to use stickers for my flights. I do pick and choose by looking at the seat map and upgrade when flights are real full. I have had to buy a set once but all in all not bad until back at EXP again.
Given that I am less than 200 MQMs short of DM and my trip next week will put me over 130k MQM, I think I might switch my full fare DEN and STT trips later in August over to AA and complete a AA PLT challange on these two trips. That way I can start 2010 with DL PM (then DM at launch) and AA PLT then decide if I should go for AA EXP. I don't always use full fare coach and while it means losing the upgrades I have already received on DL, 2 RT in coach on AA isn't bad to give me future flexability.
Thanks.
