Again, I'm not disputing the overall concept. I'm stating that it won't work here.
What was VX's pitch in F on their recliners? 50" or thereabouts? I suspect there are plenty of domestic markets where 8-12 F seats with that quality of product could be sold at a premium that compensates for the cabin real estate taken up by those great seats.

Basically any business/upscale leisure market more than 2.5 hours from QDF/HOU. Ditto NYC, BOS, SoFla, CHI, QLA, SFO...

Have you ever seen how many flights sell out in F to Vegas of all places? VEGAS, not Vail, Newport Beach, or Bal Harbour. Tacky, middlebrow at best LAS VEGAS sells out F on some flights.

Question: is B6's Mint product expanding or contracting?
