Deal or No Deal

The headlined 50,000-mile bonus after three first-class one-way flights is, indeed, headline-worthy. Even the roundtrip bonus of 25,000 miles is high value.

The business-class bonuses are decent, but only half as compelling as those for first class.

The coach bonuses, for such long, expensive flights, are uninspiring. And you’ll have to check to confirm that your ticket is in one of the eligible fare classes.

It’s a mixed bag, in other words. Which is better than no bag at all.
