You really get great privacy, despite someone is sitting literally next to you. I have yet to find an airline which would give greater privacy in J for couples.
The last time I walked through the biz cabin it looked very claustrophobic. It's an interesting layout if you must squeeze in 8-across though.

Could be a case of dumping price practices, with the emphasis on "could." I once checked SIN-DXB-WAW-DXB-SIN in first and got a very good price. Then I checked just DXB-WAW-DXB and the price was waaaay higher.
