Then there is always folks like me that fly down to SJC from YOW via YYZ and LAX on AC metal on upgradeable fares to get the 25% COS from YOW-YYZ and YYZ-LAX...

Makes the trip worth about 3800 miles... 7600 Round trip.. I've got 5 of these scheduled (3.5 of them done) and my AP balance has been quite healthy because of it..

Then again I get away with the upgradable fares because I use the argument that I am upgrading the Red-eye portion so that I can sleep and have some time alive when at home with my family (all 22 hours every two weeks).
