Thanks Pull the red toggle (whatever that means?)

I do try to go to Europe each summer, and by starting early with calls to AA, I've gotten bus upgrades past 2 years (in early June). However, this year, I couldn't get my son to commit early enough, so we ended up going to Paris through London. I am considering, in the future, trying to use many airlines, which increases available seats (the miles would come from *wood).
