I agree with you, and since I seldom travel alone, its that X 2.

However, we are all free to spend our money in any way we see fit.

I would actually say don't do it . Go to a fancy restaurant with a quarter of the money and you will enjoy the money more .

Too rich for my blood, but way cheaper than outright J.

Wow, I was on that flight on the 25th as well! Seems like I missed a Flyertalk party (although I was slumming it in Y in row 11).

Any recent experiences with HKG-SEA paid upgrades at OLCI?

I used a GUC for my SEA-HKG leg in September but not sure I want to use one for the return. I'd pay money, though.

I did SEA-HKG up front and HKG-SEA in EC. The return wasn't as painful as I'd feared. It helped the guy next to me was rather small.

I did 2 of the ATL-DXB MRs last year in seat 29A on a 777 and was honestly very comfortable the entire 15+hrs. That's the bulkhead row of EC.

I'm not overweight and have no problem with EC on any of the Delta planes.

But I think I want to use my next GUCs for my trip to BKK as I'll have PHX-LAX-NRT-BKK and back....which is a lot more hours in the air than HKG-SEA.

I booked a ticket in J on the same flight to HKG (140k SM---LOW!) for my girl (who has never been out of the country let alone anywhere near a Business Class seat.) LoL.

So I might be riding in EC solo while she sleeps peacefully in J on the return.

Good man! I booked my fiancée an FCM fare for an upcoming flight where she's alone since she has no status. When we fly together I try to book on the same PNR so there's no issue with upgrades. We've flown at off-peak times and been upgraded a couple times. Once we flew to N. South America and I was upgraded despite requesting to not be, so I had to give my F seat away to a non-rev.

Yes!

I booked by phone and the DM Agent suggested linking the PNRs, which I didn't know could be done for tickets originating from different departure cities. I'm flying PHX-SEA and she is PDX-SEA and we catch the same SEA-HKG flight. ^^


Staying at the Intercontinental. Rather than pay $400/night I used 50k IHG points per night.
