And this was also a case of dynamic pricing. Originally declined an OLCI offer that was slightly more ($857), then accepted when I got to the airport and had to check a bag. Change of mind had more to do with regretting the original decline and less to do with the $28 cost differential.

The plane was only a little over half full, and BF was less than half full, so I'm wondering if they got more desperate as we got closer to the departure time.

My return flight is also very empty. It will be interesting to see what they offer me on the way home.
Your original fare bucket was Z? That's a business class fare.
