I was on United.com and tried to see if I could "buy up" to first class on my Y class ticket. It wouldn't let me. BUT, if I just click to change my itinerary it allows me to change the YYZ-SJD portion to First Class for an additional cost of $204. That seems like a good deal.
Any thoughts? My routing is YYZ-IAH layover 1 hour 40 min then IAH-SJD.
The YYZ-IAH is a crappy CRA 700 with no amenities... but the IAH-SJD seems like a nicer plane. Both flights are approximately 3 hours.
Seems like a good deal to me... I'm typically an Air Canada user -- on AC I'd jump at this option... but i'm not sure if UA's first class is worth it?
