Cranky Flier
And ELR seating prices grow much faster than Preferred seating prices since ELR becomes more valuable the farther you fly.
Other than some variation on international routes and interisland in Hawaiʻi, there is currently a universal $60 cost to go from Choice to Choice Preferred.
From Choice Preferred to Choice Extra, the upsell appears to be $50 or, oddly, only $40 for international flights.
That comes with ELR seating, two checked bags, even more Rapid Rewards points, a free drink, free internet, and earlier boarding.
For example, if you’re traveling longer-haul international and want extra legroom, you better buy up to Choice Extra.
