UA278 Apr25. TOD offer $349 from my S fare. Re-checked a few times to see if the offer changed, but it never did. Passed, spent the afternoon, night and morning as #1 on the list and cleared before boarding.

What a steal! Published fare difference V to M is $347 one way.

I kind of miss the days when some loyalists swore that TODs didn't exist, they're just too easy and obvious to diagnose these days...

Now that is odd. A total of seven people were upgraded on that flight and it went out with seat 1A open :confused:

April 24, UA668 ORD-LGA
Premier Gold
S class - paid $245 RT

When I checked in at T-24 First class was already showing full, but sometime the night before, at around T-10 I'd guess, someone must have switched flights or canceled, because the mobile app was offering $129 upgrade with 1 seat remaining. It also helpfully informed me that there were 71 people eligible for an upgrade. I decided to take it as I wasn't feeling that well but needed to make the trip.

On the return essentially the same thing happened (though only 40 people on the list this time), and I once again took it, as my chance of clearing as a Premier Gold were nil and I felt like treating myself.

So, with the two TODs, my total fare for RT in First ORD-LGA was $503.

$100x2 ORD-PHL on US997 5/1/12 (T fare). Same pricing as the old 500 mile cert days. Is the grass greener?
