If you wanr the most valuable part of the Plus fare, which is the additional luggage allowance, then it works out at $50 for meal and flagship check in - which seems pretty reasonable

That it may not be worth it for your travel , doesn't mean that it is not worth it for all people.It is rare that I want to check 3 pieces in, but there are times where I have had lots of luggage to check in

Would you really claim that it is not worth $100 r/t for those that would otherwise pay for extra baggage?

You are deliberately misrepresenting the Plus fare since you are intentionally classing the FFD as the only benefit
