At .09 per mile, not the greatest savings for a mileage run, but it is W class, so it is upgradable. I could not confirm upgrade, but there are plenty of seats and I am high up on the list as a 1K. I would estimate my chances at 90%+. If you look through SFO, the fares are $3-500 higher and there are so many 1Ks it is hard to get upgraded. If you need 15,000+ miles and want a vacation, this is a great way to go.

You could route via HNL and NRT for more miles.
