Flying United EWR-PTY Panama City on a 737-900 where I can pay to upgrade to business for $189 or $273. Business is 2-2 on this aircraft, flight is ~5 hours and I am premier silver. Is it worth paying cash for the upgrade? This would be a solo birthday trip for myself.

100% pull the trigger and upgrade, I’m actually shocked the price is that low. I fly delta and their price for upgrades on flights that long are often hundreds of dollars

like

Pull the trigger but why is it either $189 or $273….. there would be no reason to pick $273 lol

like

Yes, one way is 189 and other way is 273. All seats are open right now in business.

I’m particular about planes so I wouldn’t because it’s just a 900. I would if it were a Max 9. I’d enjoy economy plus on the 900.

Thanks everyone, was debating this for a while but just pulled the trigger on the ewr-pty segment for $189! On the return I will pray that my cpu clears lol.

But now which is the best seat? All seats are open right now, rows 1-5 ABCD.

Thank you all

That’s a steal. I would do it without hesitation.

Treat yo self

Yes, that’s a no brainer

Ueah even for recliner first/biz that’s a good deal on a long-ish flight.

Yes, just flew on that plane business last week. Unless you’re tight on money treat yourself. Plus you should be able to get into the star alliance lounge if EWR has one. If it were 3 id say prob not.

Totally worth it.

I would do it in a heartbeat
