Good chance being WP.

Preferably, use QF points for one-way J awards, 96k points each way for SYD LAX. Saves you the inflated cost of the PE ticket, and you have a confirmed J seat.
Got 4/4 recently asking for upgrades PE to J. It cost me 45K points per time.

My question is whether other FTalkers think this is too steep a price to pay for the points. I will have opportunities to use them.
