Now I'm disappointed if I end up stuck in business class.

Once you get used to it........

Before I flew a lot, I would just choose flights based on schedule and price. Now aircraft and cabin are factors, too. Flying MIA-LAX later this year and was sure to book the 77W (which I found for $119 each way ) and then did the mileage upgrade to J for me and the wife. She will be very pleased. ^
