Pretty wild how much it is to do both separately!

One other question -- is it worth calling to check if an upgrade is available even though none show online? Any data points on that or is that not worth the time?
Just to clarify: the lower rate will not show in the app, it will show you the ‘per leg’ rate. You need to call to get the combined rate.

As far as calling in is concerned: from experience it is worth calling in at T-48 hours. That is not to say that you will be successful, but the website is not 100% accurate.
