Beg to differ. Undiscounted Economy/Business/First tickets have small differentials eg PEK-HGH is RMB1150/1500/1730

But Business/First tickets don't get discounted. Economy is commonly discounted eg. PEK-HGH next week is avaiable at RMB780

So the premium is something like 100% which I will not pay (nor expect my clients to pay) for what are pretty short flights. The differences just don't justify the premium (as with short haul elsewhere IMO)
