What's Mint Worth to You
New member. Question: What's Mint *worth* for those that have used it. I've used 10k points to get to San Diego but have the chance to flip into a 38,000 point Mint fare. I've never taken it, but seems like a decent route to give it a shot.
For those that have done it - how was the experience? Is that a decent price? Seems it.
Thanks in advance.

BOS-SAN is amongst the longest mainland US flights possible. Whether something is "worth" it is dependent on what you would do with the miles if you sat in the back. If it's perhaps a mid-winter Carribean vacation at stake, not worth it. Otherwise, maybe so.

What is it worth to me? ~$600 or 45,000 points 
I've only ever flown in seat 2F though. I've taken about a dozen Mint flights, all in that seat

Def. worth it, even in rows 1, 3 or 5 as you a) haven't flown Mint before, b) super-cheap redemption, c) East -> West transcon. No brainer, enjoy! The 3+ hours of sleep is well worth it IMO.
