I was referring to the article that came out today talking about advance fare purchase showing a major cost difference on the SFO-SIN route if you wanted to book a seat on the plane with the new seats versus the other flight without -- I'm guessing that UA is starting out high and prices will fall so that the "upgrade" for some extra space will be more reasonable...

Still my point remains -- what happens when the only seats left are the more expensive ones -- will they bump 1K/GS up to offer the lower price?

Here is the article I read: Polaris Studio flight costs more

To me this is like UA charging more for the Polaris equipped EWR-SFO flights using the 777... Wonder how many people will pay more just for the flight, and for the seat...
