Just for kicks, I am searching some flights and seeing what shows up post-11/15 on .bomb.

-LAX-MEL on Friday 12/20: Economy @ 115k, Polaris @ 260k
-SFO-PPT on Tuesday 11/26: Economy @ 64k, Polaris @ 175k
-SFO-SYD on Tuesday 12/17: Economy @ 115k, Polaris @ 260k

Seems like for peak holiday travel in the winter, 115k/260k are the high watermarks so far.

Going to the other extreme - searching for winter travel midweek to Europe/Asia after the holidays...

EWR-BRU on Tuesday 1/21: Economy @ 30k (saver level), Polaris @ 111k
EWR-LIS on Tuesday 2/4: Economy @ 30k (saver level), Polaris @ 60k (saver level)
IAD-MUC on Tuesday 1/28: Economy @ 30k (saver level), Polaris @ 155k
ORD-NRT on Wednesday 1/22: Economy @ 35k (saver level), Polaris @ 175k (on this route, you can fly NH metal @ saver level of 80k)
EWR-PVG on Tuesday 1/14: Economy @ 35k (saver level), Polaris @ 175k
DEN-NRT on Wednesday 1/29: Economy @ 35k (saver level), Polaris @ 70k (saver level)
