Flying to Thailand and spending an entire week taking $18 flights back and forth between two cities seems like a pretty incredible cost to pay for First Class seats for a year.
I suppose if I was a consultant and flew every week, I might feel differently, but I was pretty surprised at how much (in non monetary units) you have to pay to get "cheap" upgrades.

He then got a call from the ATO, or some department similar because that was a common drug route, and the agent interrogating him asked him to set him up with it too!
