honestly IFE is what gets me through these flights (along with food). If I was on a paid ticket in business class and my IFE wasn't working, this is at least what I would expect. I dont think $200 for a sundae is somehow exceptional either. Take a $2,500 one-way fare. Your economy fare would probably be $1000 or likely less. So that's the cost of getting you there + basic IFE + economy service. The remaining $1500 is for your "working seat" + "nicer meals (including dessert) + nicer IFE + better service. If you start breaking it down, that is really what you're paying for these items.
