This is key, Basic seat cost is much higher than flex thought not $1k of course. And baggage fees may factor in as well, I think Basic bag fee is $60 for TATL ... Preferred seat is $150 ($100 Standard) and some $ amount just to pick a generic seat.

Not getting Zone 6 ... Priceless?

Obviously for those with *any* status even P25 these things may vary in cost. Route / time of booking also key.
