Hard to say what the passenger mix will be on that one. I have only ever done it on fully booked flights when travelling to CES, when the colour of ones card makes no difference. Dare I suggest paying for seat allocation? Bulkheads are cheaper than exit rows, and you still avoid a seat reclining directly into your face.

I'm with you there, but where does it end? My old boss once told me the one thing he missed most about selling his Lear, and flying on normal planes, was that the pilot no longer came and asked him if it was OK to take off.

I would say so, more space, smaller cabin, more peaceful. Food and drink are the same, and no pre-flight fizzy, unlike pretty much every other carriers Y+ that I have flown. On the 777-300, its definately worth it for the seats and IFE, but on an old crate running a leisure route to Vegas, where repeat traffic may not be the highest priority, the advantages are slightly diminished. More likely to get some booze after the flight 'runs out' somewhere over the atlantic...


You never know. Check manage My Booking from a week beforee you fly and see if you get a cheapy upgrade there to WT+. From there, you might get lucky at the airport, or another deal. All depends on loads/demand.
