However, it seems the original H-UP should be higher priority, since they are supposedly treated as FC tickets, as if they don't get the FC cabin, they are owed compensation. Although, I am not sure how the computer categorizes this case. |
Meant to post V. Anyway, my point still stands. I don't think V/X correspond directly with P inventory.

Full Y is indeed $1304.30. But one way Q class for the same flights is $686.30. So P is actually about $160 more than the lowest coach fare. Still, for that difference I would do it myself.
If P was $1 more, it would have been up to him to pay extra as it was a same day purchase... instead, he saved $400 plus dollars and got confirmed FC... I have seen Ps the same as Y but never this kooky... |
In that scenario, how would he have procedurally paid that $1?

But 2 X $686.30 > $1304.30 > P fare RT. Unless the traveller is planning to throw away the return portion of the ticket, P is still cheaper than purchasing a Q class fare.
All fares quoted by both TH and myself are one way. Not sure where you think RT comes into play. Apparently Q was not available per TH though when I checked shortly before my last post it was. |

Of course, I was logged on, so it may well have been a glitch... I just looked at the flight logged in and it only showed P fares available.... |

If you want Y then pay for it!

No, these are different inventory buckets, although they're correlated in that if P = 0, chances are that V = 0 too but not vice versa.

I don't think they are quite so correlated. After all, the common complaint is an empty FC cabin and no upgrades at the window, with cheap FCM available. This means P >> 0 while V = 0.
P = 0 tends to imply V = 0, but NOT "V = 0 implies P = 0", which is equivalent to NOT "P > 0 implies V > 0" (as the contrapositive), or in other words P > 0 does not imply V > 0. |
This is a prime example of what I earlier called "First Class Anti-Monetization".
I'm still waiting for someone (not to name names) to claim that we (I) don't understand airline pricing, and Delta is making more money this way than if the P ticket cost, say, $1400. |
