In years gone by, I would book return biz class flights to the US every year using promo awards mainly, but I just checked and the promo awards are rubbish now - mostly short haul, and the few long haul routes are 25% off in economy only. Do any decent deals for biz class still come up, or are these a thing of the past? If they do, I'll consider buying some miles to get my account to a point where I can use them. If not, I'll let it go.
