Hey! I'm on that flight tomorrow (SEA-HKG)! See you then. I'll be bouncing between the SC and the Boardroom from about 9am on. Look for the super colorful backpack (Unless you're an axe murderer or something...)!

mbwmbw posted a perfectly legitimate topic. I for one welcome him back to the Delta Air Lines | SkyMiles forum; so please let us return to the topic of this discussion.
Thank you.I personally would not do it as I do not believe that it is worth it, as I would have many other uses for that $1,000.00 which would be more valuable to me — especially if the flight is not crowded — but that is just my opinion.

I do go to S.F. a lot for work. Beers on me if you're there in a couple weeks.
I got in on a sub-$700 r/t trip fare and used some DL fun coupons to get it to $350. At check in, I was offered to upgrade with $1k OR 100k miles. Did you not get the miles option?
The flights are crowded. Up until even just a couple days before my departure, the seat map showed many, many rows of 4-wide Y completely unoccupied. Then my flight left with Y0, every seat filled. There were a couple J seats open. Tomorrow is going to be a wreck.

Thoughts?

It doesn't matter. $1900 for a TPAC RT with one direction in BE is still a good deal IMO. I'm just thinking in RT equivalent terms to facilitate comparison with Z (or M and miles to upgrade) fares. I have a rough idea of Z RT fares in markets I fly and I assume the same is true for others here.

Flying the reverse tomorrow. Sorry to miss you, actually. For some sadomasochistic reason, you're one of the FTers I'd like to meet most. Hmm.

I was about to go off on another rant about OP, but I'll hold back and just say that $1,000 for the UG is definitely worth it on the ex-SEA direction.
