For an international flight which this sounds like it’s absolutely worth it. Better food, more space.

Economy plus was $225/seat
Premium was $379
Polaris was a couple thousand
I’m not rich, so almost $400 each way is a lot of money to me. I’m Silver on United, which is the lowest of their tiers, but i can always get Economy Plus, which is good enough for me. It’s only a couple extra inches, but it makes a huge difference, especially on any flight over four hours.

Yes for sure for overnight. Makes the trip better when you can sleep.

I am 5” and 110. It is so worth it. You can sleep. Bigger seat, leg room, nice blanket. It’s even better for a small person. I’ve done business lie flat, and now I know premium plus is great because of my size ( so can economize this way).

Think of it as an experiment and the experiment is part of your vacation. Report back to us when you get home.

I wouldn't pay it, because there are 3 of us and that's a lot of money to me. So this is going to be pretty subjective.

Would you say $379/seat (one way) to move from center seats way, way back in economy to Premium Plus is worth it? Does it make a difference if the flight is overnight vs daytime?
Do upgrades ever drop below than $379? Or go significantly higher?

I just splurged on Premium Plus for an overnight flight for my family but I’m not sure if it was a dumb decision or not. We’re usually plain economy people.
Either way I don’t plan on telling my spouse what it cost because spouse would say the upgrade is not worth $379. (Shhh)
And I won’t upgrade the other leg for another $379. The plain economy seats in the way, way back on the daytime flight should be fine.
But would I upgrade for $200? Not sure.
