Outside of low/mistake Y fares, is it ever worth flying UA and crediting to BD? I am running the numbers and it doesn't seem like you can collect enough destination miles to make it worth much. The 25% status bonus just kills it.

Too bad to enjoy the nice lav configuration you have to fly on a dirty no good Airbus. </endsillyboeingpreference> :rolleyes:

Speaking of painting planes, I spent part of today messing around with a 734 in MS Paint. I had to get rid of the existing paint job and am working on something new and exciting.

While you are collecting many fewer miles overall, the very aggressive redemption rates on premium cabin rewards, especially C+M, seem to offset the limited earning potential. Plus, when you're flying on a F fare having paid an almost Y fare and earning 625% then the lack of an elite bonus doesn't seem to really matter so much. :D |

Yes, mistake -Ups especially.

While it would create some very nice FM lines, it only nets 9402 destination miles - hardly worth it IMO. I guess I should just wait for the next -Up deal. |

FYI... for those interested the *A Do TATL details were announced earlier. The TATL outbound will now be on LH405 from JFK, hence the 744 opportunity. At ~$1700 (versus $600) I might have to splurge for the J seat. And take the 346 on the return from MUC. :D
Still nothing final on the local tour flight. Any thoughts on the KL M11 in WBC versus the 772 versus a CO 762? I'm thinking the M11 might be fun, just because. It offers a few hours in AMS (arrive 8ish, leave 15:00ish) but requires a YUL connection. New line, too, I suppose, though much :rolleyes: from the wife, I'm sure. I would grab the M11 as one would imagine that your chances in the future will be small. |

The only Airbus family members I'm missing are A340/380, and the only sublet of the 320 family I'm missing is the 318. I'd really like to get a 340-something out of the LH Do if I end up being able to go.

I have yet to do a A34X, right now my favorite plane is the A332.
|
I have not done the A300 series, but have the 319/320/321/332/333/346. I would like to get the Baby Bus and 380 soon, but doubt I will have a chance for the 345.
