A great deal if you HAVE to get to Europe this summer and want a more comfortable trip. It's obviously silly to pay about the same to sit in the back when transatlantic biz class is significantly better.
My dilemma is that I WANT to take my family of 5 to Europe this summer but don't want to pay $6700 in airfare even if we'd be comfortable.
I figure a cheap summer European coach airfare deal might surface eventually. If not, as they say in France, c'est la vie. We can continue to go off-season at the crazy mileage run prices that periodically surface.
