This is my favorite GS benefit, especially when coupled with GS agents' ability to open up Saver Awards with a phone call, for which I am batting around 90%. As an example, my SO is traveling with me to EWR-CDG and TXL-EWR (paid AF flight in between) and it only cost me 60k miles and no problem using upgrades both segments. Standard BF award is 300k R/T, I believe. ^
