SQ has a great premium product, don't get me wrong. But don't expect to actually get it without paying thousands of dollars in cash or doing a lot of contortions on a redemption.

FWIW, this isn't what the American FFer wants. If they did, we'd still have Chateaubriand and champagne in F on SEA-SFO, because people would be paying for it.
