That's true although last time for me was Dec 21 and the plane was full. But that was prob due to Xmas traffic.

I would have considered buying a UA ticket to London and then just buying separate P class tickets but it's relatively expensive on the flights that I want, i.e. no K class. P class jumps up to about 1500 SEK or more each way if the flight is K0, which is 2.5X more. I really don't understand why someone on a K (or L) ticket gets the same punishment as someone on a more expensive P class ticket. I have paid SEK 1000 more; can't I get a sandwich and a beer, please.

It would really suck to pay SEK 4500 one way and get a middle seat in Eco Extra, eh?

Regardless, you can't use your laptop unless you are in exit or bulkhead, and that's only available in C or P.
