To each his own I guess, but when I think of using 2M miles for one RTW award (even if it was for 4 people) I cringe. I have used a grand total of zero of my miles for upgrades as I think 1st and Business Class travel is GROSSLY OVERRATED - I think alot of it is just an ego thing because it makes the front-enders feel "special". I was a UAL 1K for a couple years and have flown many times in upgraded status (at least 20 times on the ORD-HNL nonstops alone - all using complimentary upgrade certs and never using miles) and I admit it was nicer than sitting in the back of the bus but definitely not worth spending extra money or using miles. I look at 2M miles as being the exact same thing as $40K in cold hard US cash and personally I couldn't justify spending that much on one award. Just one man's opinion...</font>
Yanxfann- I have toyed with that dilemna many times before (as I suspect others on the board have)... is it worth it to spend FF miles on (for example) 1 first/biz class ticket, or 2 coach tix. Somehow, I always lean towards the first choice, but if "logic" takes over, doesn't 2 free trips sound better than 1??
(Edited to advise Yanxfann that I'm a Mets Fan, but hopefully he/she won't hold it against me).
