I'd look carefully to be sure that isn't actually first class from PDX to LAX and coach from LAX to BOG or something similar.
Normal markup from coach to first on international flights is usually much more than 25%.
Thanks for the warning. But, yeah, the seats are all in front of the dividing curtain. The UA illustration even showed the diagonal lay flat seats for the IAH <=> BOG segments.
