Quick question I hope Michelle can answer. I'm an AS MVP Gold, and could not get the discount for a booking I just made for January. I know the system recognized me as Gold, as I was able to pick a preferred seat, and an upgrade has been requested for the domestic segment. (Fun sport is watching my priority fall off the board at the gate!) However, it didn't appear to offer me a discount for the EC seat. For JFK-BCN it showed $40 and AMS-SEA it showed $60. On a previous trip in October, I was able to get EC on SEA-AMS for $30.
Am I missing something, or did the prices double?
