Just wondering if I should just pay the upgrade fare and be done with it. They are willing to pay for the upgrade since this will probably be their last trip across country.
Thanks in advance for the advice/success rate!
Fly this route often and have just under a 50% success rate. Much of that was when it was still classified as a "Premium route", that has since been dropped. I agree with Spartacus that is a tough time of year. Also, make sure you on lie flat equipment from your seat chart before you pay for that upgrade. If not then $1300 seem high to me but that is my subjective opinion. The fact that it is not a Premium route now allows CPUs but you would trump those of course using PPs.
