Priced at U$12,382 and you still have to pay for seat selection. Who would shell out $12K for a flight and still pay for seat selection and think this is acceptable is way beyond my ability to comprehend.
Classic fares include seat selection, so your example is inaccurate. One-stops are available for $3.5k in October, I don't know who values a non-stop enough to pay 4x the fare. But whoever that person is, they're not paying ancillary fees.
