People pay 16 grand to fly? Surely that is trying to polish a very huge turd - which is how I feel about air travel. | |

I too would like to know the answer to this question, that's an absurd amount of money. | |

Those super-expensive tickets are usually free to exchange for different flights/dates. Still don't understand why anyone would buy them though, considering you could buy several separate tickets for less. | |

I had a similar argument last week with a guy I knew who had flown business on my flight and it cost him £2000 more. My argument was that if I offered him £2000 to sit in a seat for 11 hours would he take it, he pretended he wouldn't. As it happened it was a new route and cattle class was empty so I had three seats to lay down on.' | |

Those are the holy grail. I once had a Gatwick to Dallas flight which was oddly under-booked, managed to sprawl on the centre row and got a decent few hours kip. | |

Isn't the bottom line that you were using your own money while he was probably using somebody else's. | |

BA are money grabbers. Used to fly to US cattle class and return business class. You were given the higher luggage allowance 3x 32kg on both legs but they don't even let you do that now. | |

I think they're quoting Hong Kong dollars; $16,000 is around £1,600, which is not unreasonable for first class tickets from Hong Kong to Portugal. [edit] Scrap that, just seen that it is indeed US$. Bonkers. [Post edited 14 Jan 2019 15:50]
