YDC: But this is where having status with an airline screws you.

Posted by ty97 Apr 26 '16, 07:46

I am looking at three flights, all around the same time so consider that even and these are my options:

Airline A (no status): $136 fare for regular cramped economy or $186 for extra legroom economy seat. No first class upgrade offered.

Airline B (no status): $136 for regular cramped economy OR $165 for extra legroom economy OR $215 for first class.

Airline C (status): $205 fare. I get the extra legroom seat for free at booking. And, space available, I will get upgraded to first class for free. (For sake of argument say 80% or more chance of upgrade)

Ugh

That doesn't sound like status screws you...it sounds like Airline C is just more expensive. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 26, 07:49 10
- where are you flying that only costs $200 for first class on any airline? - mafic Apr 26, 07:52 1

      - Heh. I just get to pretend to be the 1% due to my status! -- nm - ty97 Apr 26, 07:53
