Competitive pricing

[mouk786]

I imagine for those sorts of prices they dont actually have to be that competitive and they just copy one another.

Why on earth would you spend that on a plane seat for 7 hours? Economy costs around £600, saving you £3,100 (x2 if there will be 2 of you) that you can spend on hotels, restaurants, shopping. Look at it this way, over £6000 free spending money when you buy 2 economy class tickets!

This is Pistonheads! God help anyone who admits to travelling cattle class*

(I agree with you, for the sake of 7 hours each way in a smaller seat I'd rather have the extra spending money thanks!)

• Apart from whinging about being 'forced' to travel economy on business!

Well, the way I see it is that you spend the night in a small dormatory with 40 strangers for over £3000 in just a seat - not even a bed (flat bed is actually a flat seat and quite narrow). Just think what sort of hotel suite/penthouse you could get for that and you would have a complete day/week and all to yourself

You're right, it doesn't necessarily make the best sense financially. But I'm tall and broad and hate people, so anything I can do to have more space to myself and less people - kids especially - around me is worth every penny. If I could afford to hire a private jet for the journey I'd be right there with my credit card at the ready.

Right there with you.

I am also going to New York for Christmas and happily (well maybe not happily) forked out for the big chairs, better food/wine, excellent lounge, bar in sky, showers/breakfast on Virgin.

Rubbish value but you're a long time dead.

Well, with the amount you'd save over a few trips in the big (well, not so big really) seats, you could extend your life significantly

It's only a bus/train that happens to be in the air instead of on the ground. There's no glamour in air travel any more - that dissappeared more than 30 years ago You'll just be lining the pockets of the management at Virgin/BA and they'll be laughing all the way to the bank with lots of your hard earned. It really is a con that's very well marketed.
