Four days out, "cheapest" isn't exactly going to be cheap, but I certainly don't feel like I'm wasting their money.
Very well stated. ^

The only thing I can attribute it to is jealousy and that the people who whine about those who fly on "OPM" are the "I get status through Mileage Running" Types who are about to get a reality check regarding the real value of their flying. I already know and accept that I'm not an HVC so these new changes aren't coming as a shock to me. Some people just can't handle finding out they're not as important as they think they are though.
