Coach is someone that tells you to take biz or first...then goes and smacks your father and insults the ref. HKG_UMICH did one of these in coach and hasn't been heard from again.... Sure, some say he is in Hong Kong, but I have my doubts and I would take it as an omen....

Seriously, though, coach really isn't an option if the route is over 30K or less than one month. In my opinion, of course. Flying LAX-BRU in coach on AA in February on the flight that has a 757 to ORD and a 762 to BRU took 10x more out of me than flying almost 30K *straight* in first.

BTW, I think this strayed from the original post. Doc, 51K miles in Oneworld (~63K pts in Biz) won't even get you a reacharound. No matter if you can do it for $300 or $3000, it is still just an extended mileage run because other than actually seeing the individual places, miles is about all you will get from it. Just another half-baked opinion, of course.
