interesting thread for us - later this year got a las-lax-mia-lhr with AA. The las-lax in domestic F and then lax-mia in F (lie flat) on the 3 class 777
, but then across the pond from mia-lhr in business on the angle seats. The ticket booked with cash.
As emeralds, where we would enquire about the upgrade for the final mia-lhr leg? Would we just keep asking everyone we encounter ? Would be happy to upgrade with cash or avios and of course accept an opup!
