The other bit that I will add for the general benefit of those new to FT is that most people here don't ordinarily spend $7600 for leisure travel in business class.

Therefore, the logic that US Airways is somehow paying us 9.5 cents per mile on the business class award seat doesn't apply.

Sometimes there is no option. I had to redeem miles for a business class award ticket on SWISS from Eurpoe to India. However I have AA miles and it would not have been possible to upgrade me on a coach fare.

Even if there was an option to upgrade, the cheapest economy class ticket for the route was listed at ~$800 and I had to redeem only 60K miles for the business class award. I am not sure how much an upgradeable ticket would have cost. Even at ~$800, I am happy to burn the 60K miles. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif
