But I didn't see any true benefits.
Next year I won't re-qual for 1K, so these won't be a positive for me
The one benefit taken away this time that really impacts me is co-pay for p.s. upgrade ... $250 one-way is a high-bar on top of the miles and the base fare. I guess UA now treats all flights with a flat bed seat the same (i think the ONLY lower48 exception will be that odd ORD-EWR 763 flight)
