Seems to be good to be true as a full fare ticket (which it will normally be it work pays) to Asia or Australia will get you this. Nowadays with a young family, travelling for work is off the agenda. Not too worried as flying is not much fun anymore. A trick I still use for holiday travel is to keep my old united premier status card. Even though it has expired I can still use it to get to the front of the security lines (at UA hubs) and save a lot of time.
