UA NYC to LAX/SFO Premium Plus upgrade is $225 for each segment. Worth paying cash to upgrade? NYC-LAX is an evening flight and SFO-NYC is a red eye.

No. That’s too much

Yes. The 777 and 787 are gulags in the back.

funny

Even on 777-200? Both flights are on that aircraft

Should have used that 225 to upgrade to a better airline, and kept the change.

No.

Is there a cheaper economy plus option? Might be good enough.

Free economy plus is the optimal option in this case!

I’d do it for the red eye going East. Moderately priced bed for the night.

If you do upgrade to premium plus and you have status, you jump to the top of the list for first class upgrade list FYI (even ahead of 1k). So you might be paying $225 for first class cabin.

Correct, OP.

For any of you real estate investors, what tools or sources did you learn from when getting started. Can’t find a mentor currently so want to find some highly recommended books or videos. If focused on the tri-state area (NY, NJ, Long Island mainly) that would be even better. My hope is to buy and rent out a apartment while also owning a house and house hacking that by renting part of it out. Trying to understand all the steps, traps, and how to find if it’s a good investment.
