Just an example. The difference between eVIPs and PMUs is there, but not necessarily as large as some make it out to be since AA has limited the number of N bucket seats on many destinations
So you save $700 out of $2200 by flying AA instead of DL, even when AA's most restricted fair class isn't available?

30% hardly seems like not large....
