I disagree with the notion once you have flown in business cabin, you can't go back to economy/premium economy. United has a good hard product with its business cabin, but it's not I can't go back to economy again good.

Also, its premium economy is perfectly acceptable, even economy cabin, but I am not a picky flyer. I fly everyone - recently started flying Frontier, surpringly good.
Good thoughts.

RIC-BER (econ); KTW-RIC (premium econ) was $1250. To upgrade return to business, it would be additional $1200.

This route always goes for $4500-$5000 in business, and I will likely never be able to fly it in business, so that's why I am torn.
