Correct!
My agency pays a $300 seat selection fee per direction, and I've gotten Premium Plus on this route before for within that allocation, but Premium Plus is $500 each direction for this itinerary. Right now I have exit row seats, which are pretty good if a little narrow due to the tray table in the armrest..
I'll earn around 15k for the trip, so I figured plowing that back in on the overnight would be a good use of miles.
Thanks for the advice everyone. I'll waitlist on UA.com and call in to change my WL to Polaris only for the outbound. I may stay in coach for the return since it's a daytime flight.
