I am against paying the extra hundred because at 444 each person, this is already higher than fares we have paid on Delta and American, for the same routing, prior to these airlines starting this stupid BE class. Oh, and for Often1, I did find where they said that even with BE, using our Delta Skymiles Gold, we could still check our bags for free. (first bag each). Changing dates or day of week (currently Wed both ways) is not an option due to my wife's days off at work.
Check these dates against the annual fall break for all public K-12 schools in the state of Minnesota (for a big teacher training conference). If you're traveling at that time, expect every flight through MSP to be completely packed (and probably overbooked/oversold).
