Given that paying 2-3K or more for coach is insane, this enhancement isn't out of line.

Screwing high paying pax is proven airline practice since neolithic times. UA also removed free E+ 'upgrades' for people who pay too much.

I just avoided this with two timely PE purchases . The rest of the year will be mostly SQ, AC, and UA.

But I agree with htb, this really frees the space for *G at T-24h and will save money in the long run.
