This recent UA C misprice to AKL probably my best haul as the $1500 spent not only got me upper deck biz class SFO-SYD-AKL and I'd never visited AKL so it was a destination I was keen on seen but it also made me elite for the first time on any airline ever
plus I banked approx 25K UA MP miles which was worth approx. $600 when I redeemed an award ticket YEG-ORD recently. All in all not a bad haul in my books. ^
Small potatoes compared with others but I actually like small potatoes.
