Yesterday I purchased a one way ticket EWR-PHX on United. It's a dinner flight on a 757-200 which appears to have flat beds in the front of the plane. Was offered an upgrade for $267. A couple of questions.
- How does this upgrade cost compare to what others have seen
- Is there any chance this upgrade cost goes down on the day of departure?
- Will I have the full 'polaris' experience with enhanced service and food/beverage? Or will this just be typical F service but with a lie-flat seat.
I have no status at the moment and this is a W fare. Thanks.
Did this same route Monday. ~$250 to bump to F seemed like a no-brainer on the 7am flight I woke up at 4am for. Got a solid few hours of sleep in the lie flat and some PQM/PQD's. Its still just domestic F service as everyone else has said though.
