Not far behind is PHX-OGG at 226.6K for Y to domestic F. That one is available for redemption at 109.5k.

This makes no sense and would be comical if it weren't so horrendous.
The same thing has been happening with paid upgrades for a while now. I can often buy F for less than it costs to buy Y and then upgrade to F.
