pretty much it, and the sign on bonus, purchase miles bonus, and what not. i dont remember the price points anymore but back then what you get as OW partners you can get with AS too. so in effect you can buy 150000 miles at maybe 1.5cpm so the F seat TPAC goes at 3kusd. had one paid in cash thats just about PE TPAC
