I'm not sure it'll be worth the $44 to me on a relatively short flight (plus I think the SEA skyclub doesn't allow access based on flying in F on a Canadian itinerary anymore). I'm tempted to use miles to pay for it though...
Regarding the SkyClub, I don't see anything on the site restricting Canadian F itineraries for SEA. |
I overheard recently in the DCA SkyClub a lady bragging about how she bought FC outright since the difference covered her checked luggage fees |

Never seen it myself. F has always been more expensive.

(People on US-CAD flights in F have had mixed success getting lounge access, often as a "one time exemption"). I wish I had made Gold this year and it wouldn't be an issue! But perhaps it's worth the upgrade just to try my luck at the skyclub. |

Haven't seen this firsthand myself, but I have definitely noticed C+ prices creeping (skyrocketing?!?) upwards, while FCM continues to come down. On some of my regular routes C+ is now 200-250% what is used to be, making F seem that much more attractive.

Just snagged D1 on ICN to ATL for $450. Paid $1200 RT for a PS ticket, so this was a great deal.
Interesting that it was $450 on the app, and $1400 on the desktop site. |

Is it possible to FCM to Premium Select and later still FCM further to D1? Ever since I took two FCM deals to G on DTW-NRT and back I no longer see them for D1.

Seems to be garden variety for me
OAK-SLC: $99 from K SLC-MSP: $159 from K ...of course the fare difference to I was less than $200 so that's a nope. Trying out the whole "Medallion benefits" thing instead :p |
