Just because people do not buy international J does not make them cheap.
1. It might be that they can't afford it. ie paying 5-10x the cost of a LUT fare.
2. They might believe it's a royal waste of their own money and don't see the added value.
I could not agree with you more! Many of FT think they are entitled to sit there because they are consultants bouncing around on $250 T fares every week. It's the entitlement that I hate. I too would love the 200,000 Ferrari....I can't afford it. I'd love to sit in row 1 of every international flight on which I travel....I can't afford it....so I will stay behind the curtain - where I belong.
