And we should have an emoticon for it. But I hear that might be a hidden LPP benefit.

Hate to tell you but I've not seen it...

[HUGE AL]

The "retardation" tag should be used more often...

OH, but we've heard it more than once on this Board.

Only an idiot would say that they don't enjoy F at all.

I'm saving my precious FB miles for a F ticket to Tahiti.

An option you will not have if you go NW.

[phaleesy]

Note: If you don't enjoy F at all, then NW is the way to go.

Don't be silly! Only an idiot would say that they don't enjoy F at all.

F is a luxury and it's for the occasional treat. J long-haul is good enough if the fare is right.

I'm more worried about the underlying presumption that someone would choose where to get their laser eye surgery performed on the basis of getting miles... I mean, this is not quite the same thing as choosing which credit card to use or which supermarket to shop at.

Exactly my point. This is taking marketing a bit too far.

I bet the experience was like the time you found out that Santa wasn't real...!

"You mean they have seats when you turn right after the door??? I thought it was just for cargo pallets!"

[stargold]

Only learned about it via the demise of the NWA FFP long ago when they actually had an F cabin.

I was under the impression that this class category was unknown to you!

[Kyo]

Yeah, but keep in mind the highest class of service you can redeem for is C.

Be still my heart...!

[HUGE AL]

Don't NW have some sort of promotion where you can upgrade (albeit from expensive fares) for only one mile ?

Yeah, but keep in mind the highest class of service you can redeem for is C.
