Worth it? $9.68 for a LGA -> BOS Delta E175 flight upgrade from main cabin to “Comfort Plus”

First time flying with Delta and the only advantage I see here is the extra leg room. The description says complimentary alcoholic beverages but they might not even have the time to hand out anything.

I need to pay this $9.68 out of my own pocket. Not sure if it worth it for a 1 hr flight.

Hi all! First just want to say thank you to all for this community.

I’m a science PhD student at a target school. Have an offer from MBB to start in 1-2 years as a generalist consultant. Absolutely no business/consulting experience. I chose an office close to the mountains for a change in location/life. Now I’m learning that some offices are lot more “prestigious” than others. Was it a bad career move to not pick NYC/SFO/BOS? Or is quality of problems more or less uniform nationally?

Just offered a marketing position with a startup based in Boston. It was advertised as a full time remote position. They offered me $10k below the minimum range I gave them during the interview because I am relocating from BOS to CLT, NC in September & they took into account “localization.” I have 7+ years of experience. The offer was made over zoom & I asked for an extra $5k to meet in the middle & will get offer tomorrow. It’s fully remote so did I mess up by not asking for my minimum?

How do these offices differ from each other when it comes to the type of work being done? Specifically looking at emerging companies/venture capital work.
