I thought about that too. Maybe I'll just upgrade people with Altitude tags

Although, SFO-YYZ only offers Tango when they have a "sale". My mom flew Flex last year to come visit me, and I upgraded her. And she certainly wouldn't have spent more than she had to.

But that was probably easier, because you could just hand over the cert, right?
