It eliminates some of the specialness of Economy Comfort — unless they go to upgrade that product in some new way, i.e. with better food. It's also slim on details, so I'm left wondering if it includes all international flights, or just the longhaul ones.
So folks in economy should not get complimentary alcohol so people in EC can feel special? Couldn't the same argument have been made for BE when free alcohol was extended to EC?
