You need to post goals. Maximum LQM, minimum time, etc. I can get you 7k SQD in 4 hours. I can get you 7k SQD in 50k SQM. Y, J, whatever.

I mean there's definitely that, but I could foresee a scenario where Q1 (aka winter) was looking nuts, and the time savings of concierge access could easily be worth it.

I don't think I'd spend an extra $7k to go from 75K to SE though.

If you were sitting at 280k SQM and 13k SQD, I'd say try to fly 70k SQM, which would reduce the effective cost from $7k to $1k.

But yeah. I'm not convinced it's worth it, and there isn't enough information to help with a dollar run.

Pick a random city on another continent. Fly J tomorrow. I'm sure the round trip will get you the D.
