Hi, problem with that idea is we are using a "package tour" from SFO to PEK, so it's a special price and no one from China Advocates (the tour company) wants to help us with the transcontinental flights! Gotta do those ourselves.
Is $3400 a bad price for f class from CLT to SFO for two? Would it be smarter and not such a gamble to just book economy and go for the possible upgrade at the desk? I can get round-trip at a cost of @ $750 for two right now. You're all probably thinking "why not just save lots of money and fly economy?" Deal is, I'm going to be taking the longer flight later the same day from SFO to PEK and really need to keep my legs up. Plus, I wouldn't mind getting a little sleep and pampering along the way.
