I NEVER, EVER see the 40,000 open on this flight, I am not sure if they are grabbed up the minute they open it or they don't allow for saver award on this flight. Does anyone know? My husband and I have the 80,000 need to fly first class home and prefer the nonstop. Any ideas how grab that flight without using 80,000 miles per ticket.
Thank you.

I think they rarely offer the supersaver, because this flight always has alot of people paying full fare first class.

I NEVER received an upgrade when I was Platinum. and I even tried using RPU and did not get it

But everytime I was on this flight(many) first was always full. i pray they are all 1k that received CPU!!! because I am now 1k and want to sit with the big boys just one time on this LONG flight.LOL
