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
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.
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
They give food, beverages and comfortable chairs
That’s not enough to make up for the difference in price

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

But yeah, that would be worth $40.
