Yup caffeine for the win! ...and I have the good fortune to be able to sleep anywhere, anytime, as long as I'm tired.

Correct. The only award ticket I used is using QF miles to get from DRW to POM to MEL back to BNE. I just accepted this was gonna be a giant cash suck. Actually, I used AS miles too for a FJ ticket from TRW-NAN.

I really hoped to find SUV-FUN space with AS miles, but no dice on any day. That ticket alone almost killed me.
