this is a valid ? only if you would have paid for the ticket if you couldn't get the award.....

i am paying $350 + 25k mi each way to sit in j....ignoring the mi, that's $35/hour for the seat on a ~10 hr flight....an exit row would be fine for the leg room, but i can't use the exit anymore....even so, i wouldn't spring for the j fare & it wouldn't break me....

grouch grouch, bah humbug!

good luck to all...
