Paid C+ upgrade on SEA-ICN worth it?
I'm being offered upgrades for $39 each way. Is it worth it to pay for the upgrade? I'm on a U fare outbound and L fare return and I have silver medallion status.
FWIW, upgrade to PS is $499 each way, but that's out of my price range.

How long are your legs?
Middle versus aisle/window seat, in regular coach and in C+?

Moreover, paying the seat fee wouldn't change the underlying coach fare class AFAIK, just like IIRC the C+ fares have an underlying coach fare basis.

Just flew SEA-ICN in C+ last month. Is the recline and extra legroom worth it? Let's say neither is very noticeable. Maybe more recline than legroom. However you have first choice on beverages and meals. And slightly more personalized service. For $39 each way I would say it is definitely worth it. You board sooner and deplane sooner. No amenity kit as I have seen in the past. And you get the same pillow and blanket in Y. But overall it is a slight improvement than traditional Y.
