Never really understood this aversion to the supremely comfortable premium-class cabins on narrow-bodies for 5-hour sectors (we're not talking the crap BA services to Cairo
et al, AA to Honolulu, or TP to Accra!!).
The ME crew tend to tailor fares by connection times, not flight equipment. And SV offer some pretty dreadful connections!
There's certainly a mistake somewhere, either in the fare or the fare description. The latter clearly refers to economy-class.
