This weekend, we’ll be stepping on a plane for the first time in way too long.
We’ll be heading to El Salvador on United Airlines. The flight was a real bargain at an average price of around $192 per person. (Adult fares came to $205, the kids were $178.)
Our flights are in economy but I did receive an interesting e-mail from United offering us the opportunity to upgrade to Economy Plus. Continue reading Would You Upgrade A $200 Flight To Economy Plus For $77?
A little over a week ago I wrote a post asking Is It Worth Upgrading to Economy Plus.
For me the answer is no if I have to pay for the upgrade. I’d gladly take a free upgrade but to pay for a little more space, I just don’t see the value. I would much prefer to use valuable funds to pay for things during the trip.
However, I can see some cases where paying for E+ can be worth it. If you’re on the taller side then upgrading might be well worth it to get extra space and save your knees from the seat in front of you. I could also see some people finding E+ a decent option for very long flights.

A few days back I published a couple of posts which call for reader interaction. One is a poll, while the other is a way to possibly get 1,000 American Airlines Biz Extra points.
Today is the last day to take part in each of these options. Both will end on February 18 at 11:59 PM.
Here is a recap:

Earlier in the week I wrote a post related to the value of upgrading to Economy Plus. (Check out the original post here.)
Kim and I have never flown in E+ and don’t really think it is worth the extra expense. With Lucas now needing his own seat, we also gain space (when sitting 3 across) from his seat.
After my original post, I had a variety of answers in the comments. I also had an interesting response om Twitter from the youngest American to visit every country in the world.

On Thursday evening we’ll be flying on our second trip of 2014. We’re heading back to Europe on another short trip thanks to the Wideroe mistake fare back in November.
We took a trip to Norway in January and this time we will be flying into Milan. However, we won’t be staying there too long. (More details to follow in a future post.)
The cost for each of us to fly to Milan was a real bargain. The last time we got in on a deal this cheap was when Kim and I flew to Copenhagen for $151.50 (each) round trip. That trip was almost 3 years ago to the day!
