Haha, if this was a reasonable price, surely there wouldn't be all this buzz about it alongside thousands of bookings. If you did not exploits the routing too much, you are basically getting free business class for the price of economy. Don't make it sound like we are doing the airline any favors or that it is in any way beneficial, we are doing ourselves a favor at their cost.

This is like looking at a Coca Cola Life soda in the supermarket, that is many times more expensive than the regular coke you normally drink. One day they accidentally give you the coke life, for the price of the regular one - and you enjoy it, oh boy do you enjoy it! However you will never pay that original price again, because the product is now worth less to you. Also there are many other great sodas to try, at half the price of Coke Life, so why would you buy something for five times the price you already paid for it?

Then there is of course the guy whose work pay for the soda, and the guy that has enough money to spend on just whatever. But 9 out of 10 will probably never go out of their way to chose Alitalia again.

This is why Apple products don't go on major sales, because it decreases the value and exclusive feel of the product
