My WJA ticket was $99. The cheapest AC fare available at the time of booking was $154.

There is absolutely nothing that AC offers that would justify me paying the extra $50. The timing is no more convenient. Tango fares don't offer status miles and the remaining AP points are only 50%. whoopee.

On WJA I get more legroom, leather seating, a high probabilty of my own private TV, superior customer service, and the ability of choosing my own meal and bringing it on board (as opposed to being 'surprised' with whatever they are serving).

WJA also has a better on-time dep/arr rate, and I know 1000x more people that have had lost/damaged luggage on AC flights vs WJA.

Sorry, but until I get a job with a cushy expense account like I suspect most people here enjoy, you'll only ever see me on an AC flight if it's cheaper, or if I have no other choice.

Luubert, still interested in sending me that chq?
