I don't! On a DL Vacation (hotel + air) I can buy a PS ticket between JFK and ZRH and using GUCs upgrade to D1: (1)these count as "exception" fares, (2)for some dates. the package is cheaper than just the flts.
For (1)the rt between JFK and ZRH is 7850 miles x 1.5 (PS "G" class) / 5 = $2355 MQDs, throw in the accelerator x 1.75 = $4121 MQDs--even "nicer". I can't get GUCs unless I'm DM. The DL Vacation price was $1800 and I will also get 20,000 RDMs.
