Just hit 1k and new to RPUs. I have a family trip coming up for Christmas 21-29 from Iah to lga. Is it worth it to use it on this trip or hope for an upgrade ?

Use it coming out of IAH. Lots of 1k’s and globals that will knock you out of complimentary runnings

LAH OR IAH? Tough to tell from your post. If LAH, they’re not going to work. From IAH sure, why not. Gotta burn them some time. I save RPUs for transcon / Caribbean travel but if you’re not doing that routing, IAH - LGA isn’t bad.
