In regards to J flights, I do a fairly regular BNE-DRW shuffle, and not sure if it is the times I fly but they are often at least half occupied, if not full (as it was a few weeks back). Whereas the TVL-BNE shuffle is rarely occupied at all. I guess if you are going to splurge 3-4 hours > 2 hours. Plus the 1 Flight BNE-DRW per day vs the multiple returns from TVL probably spreads the load a bit.
Which on a related note did my first ever J flight BNE-DRW (J is usually waaaaaaaaaay beyond my pay grade TYVM half price upgrades!) and found it phenomenal, could be my relative inexperience in the pointy end but super friendly staff, great food and a perpetually full glass of my beer of choice, pretty sweet! Got 2 more DRW-BNE flights on flexi in the next month, want to upgrade but alas, no reward seats Become an addict heh.
Which leads me to another thought, as much as it was nice and totally worth the points (at the current rate especially!) The going rate for J seems a bit high for what you get still - I get that is the point but what I was wondering how often people actually pay for J outright vs using points or points+pay?
