LOL. As I was traveling with a friend who was footing the bill, I let him decide, and he opted to remain in PE, especially after I told him that it appeared we would be the only two pax in the cabin.

And so it was. Charming cabin crew, who offered us champagne and wine selections from Business (due to my Platinum status and probably an empty plane, too), plus espressos in real porcelaine cups which was nice after eating with wooden utensils!

Made the right choice especially for a day flight. If offered the same deal for the return overnight, I may be tempted ...
