Hello. I have a question whose answer probably is really obvious to others but not to me.

I fly a good bit but generally BA-wise if it is transatlantic I’ll be in WTP.

I’ve just been offered a POUG in the app for an upcoming LHR-PDX flight. At the time of purchase the CW in both directions was sky-high. So I opted for WTP.

I was just checking prices this morning (departing 17/8 returning 28/8) and it still is coming up with 4-5k in CW each way.

So anyway there is a POUG for 399 on the outbound. If that fits with my perception of a good price then I would take it.

My simplistic question is this - such an offer, does it equate to BA desiring to sell my WTP seat at a much better price than I paid due to high demand for WTP, or weakness in the CW demand, or BA being nice to me (LOL), or something else.

I suppose I’m asking myself what the algorithm is, which is probably a pointless exercise.

I’d love to understand a bit more though

Thanks for any ideas / thoughts.
