When using miles transcon, we always have to booked connex thru IAH. Not usually a bad deal, as at least one segement I can usually get a 777. Mr Fish flies paid full Y in Y 90% of the time, because the A seats are gone long before he has the opportunity to ticket. Had the chance to fly in paid F a few weeks ago (EWR-SNA/LAX-EWR) and hadn't realized that non-stop transcons were pretty good in F service (at least on the 757, non BF). But still, an F connection beats a Y nonstop anyday..
