Couple of additional questions regarding the above.

The VS A330-300 flight from ATL to LHR in Premium is coded a “G” fare. The Upper Class “D” fare ticket on the same flight is over $5,000 more. How does that translate to only a 25,000-point upgrade?

Also, a more general question, what is the difference in the various Premium/Premium Select fare codes. When looking at flights I am seeing “G” and “P” fares for Premium/Premium economy on Virgin Atlantic and Air France, while the Delta Premium Select fares are “A”.
