Is this one of those things you just come to know through experience and reading lots of blogs or is there some source or formula you use to decide?
I know that I'll never pay for J or F. It's about availability, the spread in miles cost, between J & F on that program, & how may miles are left in my acct. I only use the miles on long-*ssed flights. I've been known to splurge on CX & SQ F, if the math is right. I can tolerate Y for 5 or 6 hrs, so I pay for shorter flights. wj
