+1. For these transcontinental flights, SFO-JFK or IAD, I always drop the CR-1 on these. They're long enough flights that they're worth it. Also, I save the e500's for the short hops or for the flights which I think can easily get upgraded. But if I do the P.S. JFK flight or an A319/320, I always hit it with the CR-1. Have not been denied yet.
