After seeing this, I am quite confident that the Op-Ups will continue, as I don't think anyone will pay so much for a regional J.
HA! That's just hilarious.
What does an extra seat in Y class cost? Probably cheaper than $2k one way, especially if you're paying for round-trip ($4k). I'd
prefer economy class with a guaranteed 2 seats instead of CX's regional J. And you have a "low chance". That's just amazing.
Securing one of the 2 seat pairs on the A330 is great. Tons of storage space, don't need to put any work / computers / books in the overhead bin. Regional J has bizarre under-seat storage, and extremely limited at-seat storage.
