AS will not get you upgrades on international flights. AS has a limited award routes.
Burn those miles before that devalue. Flights with first class are decreasing
All the legacy ffp's are getting less generous and will continue to do so. That is a fact of frequent flyer life.
Frequent flyer benefits are tending to cheap beer and not champagne. Those champagne days are gone.
Thank you for the reply. I do understand that AS does not have SWU's, which is why I said I would use miles for international flights. One of the reasons I am considering switching to another airline is that my SWU's have not been clearing like they used to.
I am mostly interested in Alaska's partners for award routes. I don't know how easy it is to get those award flights, but a lot of the routes I try to get on American are very difficult, in F at least.
