I mean, in terms of price and value, this fare does by far not beat the KLM flight from my home turf Stuttgart via Amsterdam to Bangkok and return last December, which was fully refundable for 1200€ (Which now costs 2800+). Nor does it beat the luxury of a Qatar Qsuite or the A380 bar in the upper deck - these are still unavailable or costs 5000€. Given the travel dates over Xmas, this RJ flight had just the perfect value for me. And the best rate was via Amex travel, which gave me the opportunity to spend my travel vouchers.
