The value in burning a GUC to move from
Main Cabin or Comfort+ to D1 is quite enormous, so I never have an issue doing that. I have not yet flown on an aircraft with PE. For those who have, do you think it’s worth applying a GUC to this upgrade, or just continue to hold out for the jump all the way to D1, and if it doesn’t clear, be satisfied with your Main Cabin seat?
