I've just booked a cash UC flight to Seattle in the sale week in May, using my credit card companion reward alongside it for my wife, giving us both flights for a total outlay including taxes/fees for £2562 (£1988 for the cash fare, £573 for the companion reward fees). A definite worthwhile use of the companion reward I think. The nice lady who booked it over the phone said she hardly ever processes any companion rewards and this was the first time she'd done it on their new booking system.
I had been considering using the Ex-EU route again, but this came in at around the same cost with none of the hassle.
The other bonus is that I've booked the 'I' class fare three weeks before the cut-off for the end of the limo perk for that fare class.
