Sad that no courtesy from the so called "full service" carrier any more. And more sadly, some of the passenger even believe it is right thing to do for passengers to have class-leveled service valued by "yield".

Nobody is forcing you to structure your flights in this way. As serfty (and others) have mentioned, you are travelling on a DEEPLY discounted fare. Try repricing your itinerary using normal published fares (which allow for Passenger Expenses) and you will be paying a hell of a lot more $$$$, more than a hotel room would cost you.
