Literally everything you said is false. It's $25-$35 or so in the US for 6"+ extra room. It's never been in the $100+ range in any flight I've ever been on.

I do it all the time.

Can you cite even a single source? I, unfortunately, fly all the time. Chicago to SFO upgrade on United is 129 dollars. And you don't get 6 inches more legroom...

Both American flights I'm taking in the next month. All have increased legroom, it literally says "Up to 6 inches".

Heh, I suppose I should mention these are out of Tulsa... :)

Well, thanks for that. I'll admit I'm a bit surprised, and also spoke too broadly(aka, wrong...perhaps). I'm curious now what airline/route that's for. Even my direct 2 hour flights to DC cost 40 to 50 to upgrade at a minimum, the last one wanted 69 dollars...
