Coming back to the thread topic, and looking at my travel plans for this year, I find that I will end up spending roughly the same as last year, using a mix of the left overs of a pass, mostly B fares but a couple of Z overseas, probably some short range Tango Plus which look like upgrade should not be an issue, and a sun destination two people latitude pass.

The difference will be that instead of sitting on maybe four unused red certs plus a pile of blue ones, I'll be able to upgrade some relatives once in a while. Maybe when the price is right and there is upgrade space my wife will travel on revenue tickets instead of Aeroplan tickets occasionally.

So no complain here.
