For the records, my most frequent destination is LAX and I opt for direct flights whenever I can: this mean I primarily fly BA going West. However, I have have often seen better prices on far better carriers; for someone who doesn’t mind taking a stopover it would be a no brainier to fly LX or AF.
im sorry you found my post rude. The words you highlight were highlighting the comparison of F prices in a different route when the OP had request advice on a route to LAX; a comparison of apples and Pears. It was the point that I was saying ImHO is stupid not the poster, whose opinion is of course just as valid as anyone else on this forum.
And im sorry you disagree with me finding the term proper airline stupid, but that is my opinion and I’m grateful if you would respect that.

No-brainer!
fantastic, is that a direct flight on EK? Or are they having to keep the cost down to compete for an indirect route?
