You say, "wait, p.s. flights aren't free." But again, neither is *A F considering TVM and the general hoops one must jump through.
I just want to fly, I am not really a cat in a circus.
I am the opposite. I prefer to use my miles to go long haul in style. When my balance gets high enough, I take along a friend or family member. They love international F, and so do I. C seems mighty comfortable as well.

Besides 4 RT will net (8) e500s so its not like you will always be in Y.
