Good point, Sir! The LOT 787 does look very nice (especially if it has Polish crew) but, as you say, a 'last-minute' change to UX metal/crew/service would be a real kick in the shins. Also, the mileage would (probably) be only 100% for UX discount biz-class.
If I do this MIA trip, I'm leaning more and more towards AZ (decent price "I" class from LIN, for example), which gives the 150% earnings; and I've also heard that AZ long-haul biz is very nice indeed! (I've yet to experience either UX or AZ l/h J cabins.)
