North Am. US F vs AC J on AE
Is the 20k miles worth to go US F? Would be flying on 319, 321 and eE90 J all 3 hours+ but no pod due to flying out of yeg. Is US F like UA First Domestic? I cant seem to find the information anywhere.
US F does have better times for my dates.

My recent US F experience has been that with the exception of IFE it is comparable with AC domestic J.

AC J > US J/F on NA routes.
From a purely in flight perspective there is NO reason to shell out the extra for US F. (Operationally speaking however . . . )

US F is just a larger seat with extra legroom, I chose the paid upgrade for 175 on a LGA -CLT flight recently,
it is really personal preference and how much you value 20K miles.

In your case I wouldnt spend the extra 20k, even if it meant saving $114 in domestic scamcharges because of flying AC.

This is a big step down from AC J and I wouldn't give a point or penny more for this. As was already said think bad wine and a snack basket. On longer haul it might be a little better but won't catch AC J.
