Sitting in first class has never been easier.
Since so much else PMCO is becoming UA, I hope this does, too. It's nonsensical to me that a company would turn down extra revenue at a marginal cost of next to nothing.

Customer: Can I please give you $198 to change a letter?
UA: Sure! The total with the $250 change fee comes to $448.
