This is a downgrade for GM, as how often will Comfort+ be available at T-72? Will tehre still be a discount for them to purchase it before T-72?
The "premium snacks" in non-transcon Comfort + is interesting. I wonder if that'll be Luvo meals, or something free off the EATS menu.

The Gold EC delay seems like the only tangible change, unless that one free HOOU is important to you.
[added] I wonder what the divider between Main Cabin and Basic Economy will be? Just E fares or something more nefarious?

I wonder whether T-72 will really mean that or be defined as 5 PM ATL time to agree with the upgrade windows. For FOs, free EC has been at exactly T-24 IIRC, even if they can do OLCI earlier because of other connecting flights.

Can we re-title this thread to make it a little more clear?
I hope it is just an omission. As someone that does purchase J tickets on this route, I would miss the premium service (when it was actually provided).
