[quote=Anonymous][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]
But you're keeping the name of the airline anonymous to protect its identity?[/quote]

Probably Icelandair. [/quote]

Iceland air sucks it doesn't have lay flats[/quote]

Agree. The PP referenced an international flight in BC with no lay flat. This was the only airline that came to mind.

Not sure about SAS as I’ve only ever flown them intra Europe.

Tap Air Portugal has lay flat and they are competitively priced if you fly BC regularly but I find their seats to be uncomfortable when sitting upright and too firm for sleeping lay flat.

I have not had a great experience on AF in bc (found a bug in my food) and was not impressed by the quality or service.  I flew an older plane so there was no door for privacy which I’ve grown used to flying BA. I have had great experience with BA. They refer to you by name and are very friendly. I fly them quite a bit but not enough to go beyond Silver. I hover between Silver and Bronze with BA. The tea service is really nice. BC in BA is a much better deal than first class.

I need to expand to other airlines and will likely try KLM next. Qatar and the other that escapes me are on my list but I don’t fly far enough to have use for them just yet. One day!

I’ve heard Lufthansa is not so great in BC. [/quote]
Lufthansa is an old 2-2 configuration on most flights. Unless you want to fly upper deck for the fun of it, don’t fly them unless it’s a plane with their new Allegris configuration.[/quote]
