Next weekend I start a CAI-LHR-ATL // DEN-ORD-LHR // MUC-LHR-CAI. This is all J with GUF to F for around GBP 1,100.
Being flexible I tend to finish one ticket and start the next over a weekend in Cairo which is more than covered by the savings on the ticket.
…which is a fairly good indicator that the route doesn’t have the yield to command lie-flat equipment.
