Hmmm...
$800 HNL r/t plus 30000 miles and another $300 for guaranteed F -or-
$1330 YUP for guaranteed F -or-
$800 HNL r/t and free sticker upgrades as EXP for probable upgrade to F
Actually the decision is real easy for Plat and Gold elites: YUP
Much more difficult for EXP as 8-10 hours is a long time to be stuck in the back if in the off chance the ug doesn't come through. Although this policy shodul mean more availability for sticker upgrades.
hmmm...
For international, glad I got those EVIPs this year. Also, B w/10K ug or I fares seem like a better deal once they run out, or for those that aren't EXP.
