Now that this route has moved to short haul operations with Club Europe seating, catering,1 lav and a numb bum by the end of the 5 miserable hours on board. Is it not also time it moved to RFS for reward seats also?

I have just been quoted the following Avois prices for 2 passengers when the best J fare available is £1965.24 for two, or £982.62 each. These are approx double the Y fare with a bag.

150000 Avios + £ 507.24

135000 Avios + £ 847.24

123000 Avios + £ 1,087.24

108000 Avios + £ 1,387.24

93000 Avios + £ 1,627.24

78000 Avios + £ 1,867.24

I would have considered it for long haul, indeed I have twice previously, but it will be a cold day in hell before I squander that level of Avios or cash on a short haul aircraft.
