The ability to be able to get a 32B MCE aisle seat that wasn't a bulkhead at 2 weeks out on ORD-LAX along with Flagship Lounge on both ends, and a true 39 inch F on the 737 were two of the few things incenting me to keep Saphirre status.

I don't see myself renewing Saphirre in BA in 2019. I will end up about 55% DL/VS, 25% WN, 25% AA in 2018, I expect more like 65/30/5 in 2019.
