Wow, really? Didn't realize.
Yep.If I ever meet someone flying them and paying $$ I really have to find out WHY. (And what they do for a living. )
You mean people that pay for F/J seats? I know plenty of people...
CX F (JFK-HKG) pre deval was technically better CPM than EK F (JFK-DXB).
I know plenty of people paying J but can't think of anyone I know that pays full F fare.
3x CX J < 1x CX F
CS91 just reminded me of that cute bit where you calculate how much your trip would have cost in real $$. Wow, I sure as hell would have never been able to take a quick 8 day trip for $63,996 in any lifetime of mine. Nice to be part of this community!
Even using miles, would you ever dream of paying 4x the fare in CX F over J?
It's not 4x
Weird. I was looking at the reverse routing for a random date in September and it was $8k vs. $16k.
This trip had a "retail value" of $81,421.90 and that was with the majority of nights spent in an RV lol.
We would know more about that trip if *ahem ahem*
I knew my comment was gonna prompt this, but I went for it anyway.I'm working on it!
IMO you should be comparing RT prices. Even if you only took the flight as a OW, had you paid for it you likely would have gotten it at a RT rate. CX F RT isn't much cheaper than 2xOW, but CX J is.
Same proportions. OW JFK-HKG (N/S): CX J - $4.5K, CX F - $17.5K (~4X)RT JFK-HKG (N/S): CX J - $7.5K, CX F - $29K (~4X)
