It basically means that if you can redeem domestic awards at half price - redeem at 25k miles and get upgraded at your window like you would on a cash fare.

[The bigger evips in this promo are an even number when you get to 125k and then 150k.]Give those that are not EXP a single systemwide, without any co-pay to use it, and they might want to make the run to 100K to get 8 more. In fact, some flyers that are not EXP may not even know what a systenwide is, or how valuable they are, and might select an alternate perk instead.

Thumbs down??? I don't see how flying two long-haul segments in Y is better than flying only one of them in Y.

Nothing unusual in upgrading one direction of a round trip, happens all the time.

Agreed ... more important to me to upgrade on red-eye direction - for someone that can not sleep sitting up. 8 viable Int'l flights rather than 4 with the usual 8 SWUs ... make that 9 now ^ and maybe more!

I typically make around 30 such flights a year and I'm not going to have EVIPs for all of them no matter how much I'd wish it was so

EB is a different story, and I don't even care about the food or booze, I want to get into my PJs and get to bed ASAP.

Thanks!
