Specifically you stated, "I can't recall a trip in the last 3 years where I had to make the reservation less than 3 weeks in advance and Z seats were available".
Sorry, I missunderstood your previous post.

I was speaking from my personal experience which is a limited sample. I am happy to hear that your experience is different.

In any case, this discussion is off-topic, I don't want to turn this thread into another "Bash Delta, it is not as good as it used to be in the good old days" threads. I opened the thread because I encountered a case where the M fare was only $200 less than the lowest available BE fare. I was curious whether this is a trend, and whether I can find routes where PMUs are more effective for a passenger that can plan ahead.

So far the answer was that M fares ATL-NRT/ICN are sub $2K with real Z inventory.
Does anybody know other routes with reasonable M fares?
Any routes with M fares similar to I fares?
