Yes, I have done it before but not in the past year. The courier flights are down to a minimum now with the economies in trouble throughout the world. I earned FF miles on each flight, and the prices were fantastic. No upgrades were allowed for me, but several friends got one every now and then. Further, even though I was told there was a minimum stay at each destination, I usually was able to talk them down to four days. So, some people might say it was a short vacation rather than a MR.
