I completely agree but I'll have to wait until mid Mar before I earn that opportunity! By then I should have 3 Jokers - 2 through GGL qualification and a third through hitting 6k TPs. So I'll probably use of the jokers to open up F availability on one of my existing bookings. If I don't use one of them for that, I probably won't end up using them all before they expire.

After that I'll be going down the revenue route. That will then give me the power of having the GUF2s BEFORE purchasing my ticket in a sale, rather than trying to make best use of a GUF2 against an existing booking, when you're in the lap of the gods.
