        Upgrading on those short flights is usually less than $40. If you have a long layover you can definitely get your money back. Even just being able to sit in a comfortable chair adds some value

          wow, 40$. Upgrading on my flight home was 800€ (which I did not take obviously). It’s a long distance but still

          I’ve never seen an upgrade that cheap, but the shortest flight I’ve ever taken (and actually frequently take) is 90 minutes - and the upgrade cost is still an order of magnitude over $40.

          But yeah, that would be worth $40.

            I’ve seen $40 a few times with Delta during check in on flights of less than 2 hours. I guess it’s like a last minute deal trying to sell the upgrade instead of giving it to someone with premium status
