[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most are definitely NOT 12k. Just searched for a 10 day trip Dulles to Rome late September. $3600 roundtrip business on Swiss Air.

Still a lot, admittedly, especially for say 4 people, but not even close to 12k/person.[/quote]

Wrong, I just looked, it is $12,800 per person from DCA all the way through 2026

Oh okay I guess Google Flights was wrong that every airline was under $5k.

I think you may only be looking at First Class? On international flights that's very similar to business class, and only a few airlines now even have a separate first class internationally.

Post dates and start- finish cities in Google Flights.[/quote]

It obviously can vary by airline, but I just flew business class to the UK and it was not even close to first class. It was a more like economy with slightly more space to lean your seat back. First class had separate pods and lay flat seats (and this was a US carrier, not one of the airlines that is known for a fancy first class). [/quote]

I find this hard to believe every airline I know that flies to the UK (Virgin Atlantic, BA, United, Delta, American) has lie flat beds in business. Were you flying some weird budget airline??[/quote]

Delta to London. There are four categories — Delta One (first class) has separate pods and lie flat seats. The others — Premium Select, Comfort+, and Main, do not. [/quote]
Delta One is the equivalent of business class for international flights on other airlines. Premium Select is the same as Premium Economy on other airlines.[/quote]

Their Premium Select is A+ compared to United’s and AA’s. The soft product is so much better. If you get the bulkhead seats you can put a duffle upright against the wall after takeout and stretch your legs out entirely using that to keep them elevated.

I’m baffled by the PP who thought Premium Select was business class though. [/quote]
