You can easily explore flight upgrades on your TDY travel flights. It's 100% legitimate and in line with government regulations and JTR. After using government contract flights and booking on your GTC in DTS, you can check your upgrade options. On this flight, Jamie was able to see United upgrades on an 8-hour flight for only 20,000 United miles or ~$1300 each way. He was able to transfer credit card points instantly to his United account. 40,000 points for round trip, lie-flight, first class experience is a great redemption! You can easily earn well over 40,000 points with the welcome offer of just ONE annual-fee waived credit cards for military servicemembers AND their spouse. Remember, you can EACH get your OWN account and each enjoy the benefits.
