You'd have the same problem with miles shortage but if you did it in coach, you'd only have to come up with an additional 50k DL miles.
That was a useful read. Thank you. It's surprising that they are so good in French Poly. I'm sure I could get one more bonus in to put us over the top for coach. And getting to LAX is probably a lot easier for us (from SAN) than many other folks. But I think that the fees (no status here!) and the uncertainty are scaring me away. Can anyone speak to the difference in DL vs. BA fees (really AF vs. CX).

@x712xdamx - Thanks, I hadn't thought of the hotel angle. I think I'll stick to miles. We rarely stay in hotels. Mostly look for VRBO and Homeaway properties.
