Other F trips this year are on LH and BA so I keep telling myself that those flights do bring my average cost down... I guess.
Well that reminds me I should probably burn off my stash of 3 million miles; but I can never seem to find anything worth redeeming for with the lower F prices recently and limited close in saver availability on some airlines
But indeed; in terms of overall experience, I share your sentiment toward AF's La Premiere on the 77W. I prefer it over SQ Suites at this point which goes to show a lot, as I love SQ's service, but feel that La Premiere doesn't have the pretence of doors, which allows AF a sense of elegance in the cabin. Together with the superior ground services of La Premiere really makes it a home run in my opinion.
