Pros and Cons of UUA on A380 J-F
In September am booked in J on the A380 LHR-ORD in 53k.
At the moment there isn't any availabilty but I am checking daily should it come up As I see it the pros and cons are as follows but would welcome advice.
PROS
Opportunity to have First First, at present the overriding balance tipper for me.
The avios cost is only 18k so only the equivalent of 4 RFS trips EDI - LON
Off the plane quickly as am meeting a friend at ORD. - Although from being in 53k before this may be a negligible difference.
Av Geek Bucket list tick.
Improved Food and Beverage options.
Trip gets me 21k avios so see it as an avios neutral trip.
Flight is in the daytime so can best enjoy the LPGS
CONS
With the CW improvements is there much difference between the products now?
Already in 53k so will have a window seat with direct aisles access.
Connecting from INV so time in CCR limited - If on time 105 minute connection time.
There may be a better use for my avios ie a W-J upgrade.
Flight is in the day time so I usually try to stay awake.
