In re-reading Helena Handbaskets' post, you are correct that I did not interpret it correctly. So just view my earlier post as another recommendation for going C when using miles. I am one of those who think that the benefits of C are worth a reasonable premium. So if an all-cash C ticket was only 50% more than Y, I'd pay it just as willingly. To me it's not about the cpm milked out of the miles, it's about the cost difference between Y and C, which is tremendous when paying cash but very reasonable when using miles and therefore I recommend it.
