An example of an alternative - for £2,800pp from CDG you can fly LX in F. Yes, it adds some complexities to the journey (2 stops), but for a leisure trip i'd certainly think about this option ahead of BA. In more recent times however I have put a far higher price on the convenience of direct routing etc during Covid, but if things keep going the way they are, then an additional stop or two to fly on a better airline is worth it imo...snip....
