I'm afraid not; I just got an economy ticket.
When i checked in, the lady at the counter asked me what I was doing. So when i told her I was going to get a watch, she said i should have gotten a business ticket, so i could lay down and sleep.
I told her I was too cheap to pay for a business class ticket, and needed to save my money for more watches
She thought that was funny!!

In fact the flight over was a bit hellish as they had oversold it. Now generally I would have been bumped up to business class because I have a Star Alliance gold card and am a Million Mile member with Air Canada.
But when you are travelling using miles, you can't get bumped up....so i was stuck in the back.
But I saved $1500 by using miles....so it was worth it for me; and on the way home I had an empty seat beside me, so it helped to make up for the first flight.
I need to save my air miles for flights to Hawaii at Christmas : )
