On NK I can get BFS which is not markedly different from a domestic F hard product, pay far less than half the price of domestic F, and again, the only real difference in soft product is I'm going to have to pay for my snacks and drinks which I doubt could ever be more than $50 on a flight that short.
Agreed on most, except when things go pear-shaped on NK, you better have good travel insurance or look forward to enjoying an extra 4 days in Plattsburgh.
