I considered purchasing this book, but after going online to read some reviews, I was not sure if all the info on deciphering airline codes would be helpful to getting more upgrades and spending less money. Has anyone read this book, and do you feel it is worth purchasing? Or does anyone have any suggestions for using miles to upgrade, particularly on international flights, without spending thousands of dollars?!
