Like I said, I've flown in coach, and I've flown in Biz, though the last two trips were in coach because I didn't try to get an u/g. And the u/g isn't guaranteed unless there is R availability, so it usually clears at the airport
And with my elite earning I get the miles back after the trip, so it's a wash.
OK, technically my last trip to PVG was in Biz as UA oversold the flight and upgraded elites, but the flight back was Cancelled
Got to fly Air China to KIX and 777 to SFO, where buy up was "only" $250 and 25K miles, but it was the old stlyle barcolounger Biz seat, so I passed and grabbed the only exit row seat left.
