Any sane DM using a GUC would go for D1 and not just PS if there's a choice.
DL quietly dropped their very good PS G class RT fare that was supposed to be available for outbound travel through February 28th; the prices went up dramatically for the MSP-HND route in PS within the last month or so. There's lots of G inventory but apparently no current filing of a G fare for this route. I had been thinking about trying to do a quick little late February trip to Tokyo but oh well......
I paid just under $1400 for PS on MSP-HND-MSP in early December; it was $200-300 more than Main Cabin. I just looked at some random April dates and see that it has more than doubled. I also just booked a trip to France and found that the PS fares were more than double the Main Cabin fares. PE (on VS and AF) and PS used to be a really good way to get a more comfortable ride for a modest price increase. No longer. Now I just hope the complimentary C+ upgrades at time of booking continue for a while for PM and DM.
