Fares (including taxes) for LAX-ZRH return trip in early September:
DL T-fare: $730 (cheapest fare $686 on UA)
DL M-fare: $3072
DL I-fare: $3042 (cheapest fare $2747 on CO)
Conclusions for this example:- M-fare + PMU is $30 more expensive than I-fare
- M-fare + PMU is $325 more expensive than competition
M fares don't require a Saturday night stay. Often M fares book as B (near same price) with the ability to change day of departure without penalty. M fares can be purchased inside 50 days. M + PMU works better for some than a cheap I.
