Denied a 4th time, c'est la vie. Probably for the best anyway.
5th times a charm.

Because it was a great quick flight with plenty of space to sleep thanks to the bulkhead. And I'm enjoying F right now on my 2nd leg instead of having to gate check my parisian goodies on an RJ. And I have an extra 52.5K miles in the bank. And I'll be able to put my kids to bed tonight :)

Etc.

Of course. These were all known factors going in...Thought there was another silver bullet.

I'd rather be accused of taking advantage of opportunities and living life to its fullest than be accused of being bland and "too safe." I guess we know which side of the fence you fall out on, eh?

Totally. I can definitely see 3 extra hours of family time on a random Wednesday in March 2016 is taking advantage of unique opportunities and being as memorable as LH F + FCT + Porsche.




No, really, I can.

So you, too, concede the point.

Closer to 6 hours later.
Regardless, as I said in DDMS, I'd have been much more proactive had I never done LH F/FCT/Porsche. Having done it already I don't regret not making 25 HUCAs and killing the day I had in Paris.

EU flights are so short that it's not a great use of miles anyway.

I don't think essentially an extra evening home is meaningless. But I agree that it  would be less memorable. On the other hand, though, it would be a memorable experience that he wouldn't have enjoyed with his family.

I think you'd deserve they should accept your change just for not listening to everyone's advice...
