I doubt it reflects the actual flight. On our upcoming LHR <---> LAX trip, one leg PE is nearly full and the other almost empty. The dial moves exactly the same for both. Not only that but it from other posts it appears that dial doesn't account for currency either.

A little annoying. I can bid between £110 and £900. From what I've read here, If I'd purchased my tickets on the US website, I could have bid between $110 and $900.

A £900GBP bid is crazy but $900NZD less so. 900NZD is about 450GBP.

Hopefully the actual system does currency conversions. If it doesn't, maybe we should all switch to NZD
