I really think FO and GM might be the happiest experience. We go in with little to no expectations, and are pleasantly surprised every so often.
Talk about low expectations - as a DL DM I've flown 4 RTs CDG-Asia on AF back when they had these really good S and W fares - US-CDG-Asia-CDG-another EU city-CDG-US in PE for US$2500-$2800. So you could do a week in HK for example and a week in Copenhagen on this fare and earn an enormous MQM and MQD because of the class multiplier on AF flights.
So 8 flights CDG-Asia and back. I got op-uped to AF business on 5 of them. No op ups CDG to US and vv.
