Fare Code XN - Economy?

Folks,

I'm sure this is probably answered somewhere, but, I've been searching for about the last 30 minutes and can't figure it out. "XN" being too short to search on doesn't help .

I am looking at BDL-LAS in E when I notice that for not much more miles, I can book F. But when choosing seats, F is not an option for the second leg. When I look further, I see that 2nd leg will be "United Economy (XN)". See picture. So, what gives? What is the point of a booking option like this?

It means IN is available for one leg, but not the other.

"Mixed Cabin" means the booking will be in different cabin for some of the segments

Always be wary if you see Mixed Cabin

Some people might choose to book if they think that 8.3k points is a good value to sit up front for BDL-ORD.
