I paid it and was happy to do so.
Finished biz early in MKE, was on a roach fare. By paying the $100, I:
1) Got out (and home) 3 hours earlier.
2) Switched from an RJ connecting to a Dash 8 to two mainline jets.
3) Changed my connecting city from PHL to PIT
4) Got confirmed in F for both legs
5) Got the 250 miles class-of-service bonus for both legs.
Took me 50 microseconds to decide to pay the fee when offered all this by the CP desk.
Oh and BTW it was my employer who paid the fee </font>
If you were on a "roach" fare, how did you get the 50% class of service bonus? That's only for full fare coach, upgraded to F.
