Exactly!!!
[QUOTE=SamuelS;25364092]Precisely. All but a couple of my flights on DL this year have been in paid F. I have yet to book a ticket in full fare F on AS despite being MVPG for last 3 years.
AS has floated out some discounted "P" fares on select routes here and there (but I've yet to see any on any of the routes I fly). Anytime I've checked AS when looking at DL (or AA, or UA) AS has been exorbitantly priced up front in comparison, and I just can't justify paying $2200+ for a roundtrip to Florida when Delta is $800-$1000 r/t up front. And if the price discrepancy wasn't enough, I honestly feel that Delta's domestic F product is better (pillows, blankets, PDB's...)
I love the AS people, the flexibility and can-do attitude, and AS has taken really good care of me whenever I've flown with them. I just wish they'd either price the up front cabin competitively, or be a little more generous with U space for folks paying higher economy fares and looking to use the upgrade certs.
I agree 100%!
