That's RT (and I was wrong on the amount it is $798 not $750) but that is still crazy. That's $400 each way, a lot better things to spend $798 on, especially since I have a really good chance at the upgrade and if I don't get upgraded I have a good C+ seat. I've seen DTW/LAS RT for less than $798 with a FCM fare before.

Paying $500 to fly to LHR is a no brainer. Just the flat bed seat and ability to sleep is worth it alone
