UA's Economy Plus was at one point a decent value proposition but they increased the prices due to its popularity so now it isn't anymore as the total sum now often encroaches on actual Premium Economy prices.
I love the photos of the North. It always amazes me on those TATL flights that you're looking at this vast and interesting landscape of valleys, mountains, water..and yet in your view which encompasses a huge area of land there's likely few if any people (when over Greenland's and Labrador's interior).
