Plus - I've had great success of upgrading fares with systemwides. It just takes persistence, a whole lotta politeness, a bit of chit-chat about the state of UA, and a Glenn's Gotta Go shirt. I'll probabaly have to stick with domestic, just based on my schedule. Fares have gone up, but here's hoping there's a well-priced JFK/LGA - IAD - ORD - SFO - LAX - IAD - JFK fare out there somewhere. I do like international MRs, a lot.

I'm just in a place now where I'm not sure I want to do it. Fares aren't great this summer (they are higher than I thought they'd be), and I already have 166k EQM with 4 SWU and 4 CR-1s left... so just not sure I want to spend time domestic-running when I could go international.
