I only want to fly economy. I have never flow in J or F and have no need to do so, whether it's a short or longhaul flight.
As to UR transfer partners allowing you to book on basically every airline in the world, that is just not the case. I could not book a flight on Vietjet Air with UR at all. Not even trying to redeeming UR at 1.5cpp through Chase, let alone as an award flight through transfer partners. I think the same was true for JetStar airways.
