The last time I flew this, there were only 3 of us in F: me, George Clooney and his fiancée, now wife! You never know who may be in F with you. The FA said that she herself had also had Kim Kardashian, David Beckham and Posh Spice, the PM of Australia and Bill Clinton on her flights! And AS miles are tough to get compared to MR/RC points. Go for it!
