Traveling to London in November on United from LAX. The upgrade cost for Polaris business on the way there is $1,800 but the upgrade cost on the way back is $6,600.

Any idea why the price is so much more on the way back? It's the same aircraft (787-9 Dreamliner).

Taxes for premium cabin travel originating in UK is very expensive. One way to get around this is if you connect in London for less than 24 hours. Look up the travel blogs about this (points guy probably has something).

Actually, I think this is just crazy UA pricing these days. I had a similar experience traveling from Venice this summer. Price varied wildly.

Completely depends on demand. Your outbound flight could just be a slow travel day.

Yeah. Do you fly much? It’s very normal for it to be wildly different between flights

Supply vs demand

I've never worked on anything for TikTok and hope I never have to. TikTok is from hell.

I'm pretty sure TikTok is one of the main reasons we are constantly hearing about how much Gen Z struggles with mental health.
