Now your plan is spend 7000.00 now and buy upgradeable tickets next year (even at 1000.00 per ticket X 6 r/t's is 6000.00) 13000.00 total... right?

Looks like a 9800.00 savings... roughly.

Ummm...really? care to share those? DEN-??? is 2600-3800 r/t? perhaps o/w 2600-3800 but not r/t.

doing some searches the cheapest i found for next jun was DEN-LHR for 5471 Z fare.
