Call me a snob but I do not care about the fare. I want something, consider it important for me at this point of time - and I get it, no matter what it is - like all of us would do. Equally I can fly in economy class and still enjoy the ride, there is nothing wrong with it.
Thanks for trying to comment on my behalf.
Actually, I wasn't commenting or even trying to comment on your behalf. Apologies if I offended you.
What I was trying to point out is that in most large firms, reservations are typically either handled by secys at a senior level or outsourced to a travel company, who are not really looking to 'save' money by finding the best deal. They have an authorization to book F for certain pax on certain preferred airlines and that is what they will do irrespective of whether the next couple of segments are in J or another airline is offering the same seats at 50% discount. They can't step out of line and create an exception for which they have no authorization - that's simply too much trouble and might even get them into trouble. The sheikh bit was just a little tongue in cheek...
