Yeah, something about earning 0 mileage on those routes keeps us from flying that way.
I honestly don't care about a sleeper seat when returning from Europe, since I tend to spend that time watching movies. And on top of that I despise the connecting experience at LHR. But thanks for the suggestion.

Umm... This is FT... We're all obsessed with status and points, aren't we?
Yes, going to places I want to go is definitely important, but if there are routing changes that would still let me go where I want to go but would maximize my mileage accrual, then I would be very interested in those.
