But I've got all these points I need to start using so trying to see if I can be smart in how I go about this.
On our longer hauls (Japan) we've done premium select on Delta and when I turned to look at everyone in the back I was so happy I wasn't part of that misery (3-5-3).

I have sooooo many AA miles. I got them back when I used my card for a business I had that bought a lot of product. However I don't fly much and when I do it's typically short distance so then I feel bad wasting miles on a ticket that might only cost me $100 if I bought it. I tell myself I will save them for when I go on a long trip and I never do.
Anyways I recall with AA I could pay a small fee like $50 or $75 plus some miles and I could upgrade to business/first class. I can also book the whole thing with miles which is what I would do if I was flying to Europe or something. I did it last time when we flew to Wyoming. For me it's really just about the larger seat and only having 2 seats. The actual service, food etc is basically what coach use to be like back when I was a kid.
