Ewr - mxp: P+ < y ?!
Snagged some tickets in late July, EWR <--> MXP for around $1200 in P+. Perhaps I'm the idiot but I've never seen flights where Premium Plus is cheaper than Economy...perhaps new aircraft load? Economy did seem very full from the seat map.

interesting. It’s certainly possible but rare. You might be right that aircraft swaps meant full P+ inventory is available all of a sudden after many low fare basis Economy codes had sold out.

regardless a great fare - good find!

Likely that's exactly it. Saw same when UA swapped in 77W for 77G on SFO-EWR.
