I don't buy O fares, and try for R and A maybe one direction.
For TATL (from SFO) Each direction in A can easily add $500 and O in each direction can add >$1,000

Pricing PremPlus closer to departure will more likely price in O.
I find the best PremPlus pricing 3-5 months out. Close in pricing is crazy


Not going to happen, will yield few dollars for UA

People restrict to PremPlus bookings will pay the O fares for a chance in Polaris

The cabin size for PremPlus and the upgrade priority for PremPlus are no accident.
It shows J has become the old F, the upgrade class. A smaller J cabin would result in more D and C fares from the people who will pay anything to sit in J. The rich leisure traveler

However, O fares, as shown here, are rather pricey themselves
