Economy gets some slack on here, but it's not too bad. I enjoyed CW cabins for the first time this Summer thanks to you guys on FT (LHR-BOS/LAX-LHR, LCY-JFK/BOS-LHR, LHR-BKK), but make a point of booking at least some trips in WT/WTP to keep one's expectations in check.
For me, dayflights are manageable in WT, like LHR-BOS, LHR-SFO etc.
But, knowing the FT tricks for CW, something like BA15 to SYD in one haul in Y might be a bit of a stretch. So I guess that's my limit... my spending jumps there to look at stopovers/WTP/ex-EU J.
ET is perfectly acceptable intra-Europe. I fly CE only on RFS when the only good time and availability is in Club, or on an ex-EU positioner to London.
What's your limit for each cabin? (And do you regularly have to pay for flights yourself?)
Curious to get this boards' thoughts!

Pretty much anywhere, though work policy does allow for W for 7hr+ (and C if it is cheaper than W, or I pay the difference myself, and I have seen sales where the fare difference is nonexistent/negligible.)
As for my personal travel, I typically try and grab Z/U class (oneworld), or O/I class (*A) seats to maximise value, almost always on intercontinental flights.
