Plenty of really nice trips I can take here in the USA.
I have done TPAC 7 times, all in economy. The only time I minded it was when I played myself on a reroute for more miles. Aisle seat on NH became a middle seat on UA NRT-EWR. I can't sleep well sitting and don't see any value in going on an airborne bender so economy works for me.
I have a horde of about 500k miles over all programs, the program enhancements are happening faster than I can use them so am using domestically where I can get two cents or better.
