Hah! It was U class, thanks. I booked it several months ago as the 2nd leg of an AA flight from BCN/JFK/PDX with the AA flight booked in J. Alaskas flights to Europe are well priced when you can book main cabin domestic and business on the AA flight, we’ve done a few and feel good knowing I’m guaranteed PE at booking and in all cases have been upgraded. They price out at about 40% of the same flights booked on AA or BA.
