Did someone hack your account? When I go to MIA I have a hard time settling for Y. When a flight is more then 4.5 hours I'd redeem for J.Well, my father just flew LGA-ATL in F on a paid ticket, long story short, they did not have a seat for him in F and he seat in Y. He whats app'd me the entire flight how terrible it is....
I wouldn't hesitate to fly LAX-HNL in Y.Some people here are too spoiled. Not worth spending 37.5K for some silly domestic F when Y is 12.5K.
It all depends on how many miles you have. I have 1.5MM laying around...... I don't think that in 50 years from now they will have any value, therefor I would redeem them on anything that make a bit sense. (not for standard award etc)
Why not just go X? It's only 5.5 hours?
You think it takes 50 years to burn 1.5MM??
Really depends on your travel patterns. Some here go can go through 500k like water. So not always worth it to spend the extra 15-30k extra for that J or F seat. Please don't ask if someone hacked my account;)
Isn't that just about the same as NYC-LAX? And yet no one thought it was weird to want J/F there...
You think it takes 50 years to burn 1.5MM??I just burned 550K for a trip for us next month.
Meir..... You???!!!
The hard product from NYC-LAX is a lot nicer than LAX-HNL, but you're right I wouldn't consider J or F to NYC either.
Product, product, product.Pay for a good product (JFK-LAX) not a lousy one (LAX-HNL)
Now that explains the difference between me and you guys. I fly just about 5 times a year, and with the amount of miles I have I wouldn't think twice when redeeming J/F.I am not done yet with AOR.
You're missing the point. I don't think twice for when redeeming for a long haul J/F intl flight or a nice TCON product, but for a lousy domestic F come on.
5x a year with even a small family does serious damage to mileage balances...
International trips are solo. Even domestic is usually just me and my wife. (that's our vacation)
Depends on your balances.I do 5+ trips a year with a small family and I still manage to earn more then I burn.By the time I get to the bottom of my pile mileage will not be worth that much anymore.
