I have nothing to whine about. We just got a chunk of free points due to some inconvenience that an airline’s delayed flight put us through. Which airline, do you think, should we spend the upgrade on? Air France, British Airways, Air Canada come to mind. Thank you very much.
Like anything else in life, first class is worth what you're willing to pay for it. If you think in terms of a long haul (10 hour or so) flight and have to pay $2k more for a business class as opposed to coach R/T then you're renting a bigger seat for $100/hour. Does that make sense to you? I guess it depends on how big of a deal that $2k is to you. If it means you're not going to eat for a week, it's probably not worth it. If it's a rounding error in your investment account it's a different calculation.
