Sir, are you making a mockery of these proceedings!? Oh, right, good then, that's what I was doing too...
Ha. Not making a mockery. Was genuinely curious, as when I checked I didn’t have any flights booked. I’ll now cross the EP threshold this week with miles, and the segments will follow in the next two weeks.
I like to think of myself as a CK anomaly. If I’m not flying TPAC then I’m required to book coach (whatever Concur spits out), so the 100% Upgrade is important to me. The Caddy is just icing on the cake. Last year, I made 8 (I think) TPACs in J (all DFW-HKG for the TPAC segments), this year, 0. I have made several TATL flights, but they are booked in whatever coach class Concur spits out. I have been able to use 9 of 10 SWUs. The other J was the only option when booking.
