PHL-LAX November $533. My basic economy fare was $70 🤣 Currently $1166 if purchased. I’m sticking with 28A and $70 though. I don’t find those seats comfy for more than 5 hours whether it’s PE or First, so the cost needs to be reasonable. If it drops to $250 I may consider. United was $430 with stops in F and $600-800 for Polaris-light on a wide body ewr-lax for example.
LAX-PHL
Purchasing is $1,166 so this price is rather nonsensical. Basic economy was $145. Again, 28A works fine.
