Correct that it is a fare hike for most pax. Not really "targeting" MCO so much as that's one of the earlier markets to get the product rolled out. I expect BE to cover the full domestic route network pretty darn quickly. This is not a targeted product, just a phased roll-out.

I'd strike "one of these routes" from that sentiment. This isn't going to be a limited/targeted deployment.
