Somebody keep my Platinum card away from me. 35k AS miles and 15k MR points, as gravy to ~18 hrs in EK first class for $3k from a city near where I'll already be? So tempting.

Tell me. I lobbied hard to change Thursday's MLA-LHR-SAN to EK but Mrs. SFO777 veto'd it. She was initially interested but in the end decided she just wants to get home and didn't want to overnight in DXB. OK, just don't complain after 3+ hours in Air Malta Euro-fraud Business Class and/or when BA First (aka J+) goes south.
As for the euro biz BS, I have a KLM flight from AMS-BUD. I paid $145 r/t in Y and it's offering me to bid for upgrade starting from 119 EUR each way. They serious?

Hmmm. I'd like to do this, but then I keep thinking this is too expensive. Problems, decisions, yikes. Thanks SFO777 in any case.
