1.)What is the alternatives to ASB if not LH?
2.) What is the cheapest Y fare?

I have never been to ASB, and I don't know what the cost of doing business is there for LH, and who the people are who will buy NEK C tickets at that price, but if LH can sell them, more power to them.

This does seem to be a shortcoming of the NEK strategy: what to offer premium passengers on thin mid haul routes? If a widebody is too much capacity, how do you get people to pay for such crap for 4, 5 or even 6 hours--unless there is no competition... @:-)

My personal pain threshold in NEK is about FRA-HEL. Anything longer than HEL is HEL-L...
