Yes orbitmic, I totally agree. I did say it would be impossible. It would be an administrative and logistic nightmare unless it would be like Norwegian for long haul + flatbeds.

There is a reason that AirAsia's long haul model failed completely*. I guess for the same reason that there will probably never be flatbeds on any LCC model. You do pay for the real estate more than for the service, I guess.

Just wondering: what if Norwegian offered no frills flatbeds at 70% of the cost of BA? No lounges, no FFP. How many here would switch? And if you would not at 70%, what would be a realistic price difference? Think 'own pocket', not company policy.

I would - to get slightly back on topic - prefer the AirAsia economy model to basically any mid/long haul carrier out there.

* They do offer the product again on regional long/mid haul like Australia, China and Japan for instance
