Last Nov we flew UC out/PE back to BGI as we got a good upgrade price from VH. This year in May I flew UC and PE back using my points, and now I've just booked PE out/UC back for our holiday next May using points and a CC EC to PE voucher.......going EC again is going to be difficult after this!

I'm out of points now, so will have to start saving. Not looking like I will get another work trip to JNB, which is a shame, and with LR going any work trips to MAN won't be Virgin....

It is indeed a hazard.

Welcome to the club...

Think it is going to be an expensive habit now I've used all my miles up! Certainly enjoyed doing it though

I can confirm its an expensive luxury this Upper lark but enjoyable

Another victim

It happens.... I'm in the club too

You have Oikonomiaphobia, it's quite common especially by the members on these boards. Welcome to the club.
Sadly there is no cure other than avoiding the dreaded economy cabin.
You just have to work harder at collecting points.
