I'm not usually a premium fare type, and I haven't had status for yearsb. My recent back issues can make sitting excruciating, and my last two flights were night and day between Y and J.

Still curious. Did I get an okay deal or pay out the ear?

I'd call it par for the course. That's a very reasonable price for the upsell, but not a steal. I would do it every time, but your wallet may vary
