Yeah but I'm hoping it won't show up if she's googling.

You guys are lucky, I put my SO in First on a BA reward seat from BKK to London and she spent the whole time complaining about the quality of the champagne.

Mind you Bollinger 1989 is hardly going to set the world on fire.

maybe YOU are lucky. save the money on a Y seat, use the saved money to buy a proper bottle of champagne. (or save the miles here) oh btw, mine complaned about everything regarding the same flight but in QF. dangit I was planning to write up something as a complaint!

I used to enjoy them very much for J-class upgrades, but my wife realized I got op-up so much anyway so why waste them (she does have a point...)
Tell your wife to get her own job and earn her own miles. if her parents want to come, let them pay.

Japanese wife won't stop at miles. All your miles are gone as well as salary!

Just returned from a trip to DPS/HKG in F (outbound, AA miles) and J (return, BA miles) with my GF. She was very happy :-) (and claims to understand that I don't have the miles to do this all the time!).
