Well-priced premium econ is certainly nice, but well priced business is even better.
As an example from personal observations: a month ago CX had an advertised premium-econ sale. Pretty much any west-coast gateway to almost anywhere in SE Asia for around 1.5-1.7k. That sale lasted a couple of weeks, relatively wide-open inventory. I booked YVR-AKL for 1.65k. I suppose semi-long running sale makes it more of a good/great price rather than an exceptional deal (which most QR J posts from North America tend to be).
