Is this what people are routinely paying?
A few data points from me… In May I flew F LHR-BOS / JFK-LHR for £3,200. This coming weekend I’m flying F on the transatlantic leg of JER-LHR-EWR-ORD for £3,900 (direct to ORD for my dates was > £5k). And in May next year I’m flying F to BOS and that’s pricing up at £2,900. All of these include Saturday night stay, which I think is the key here, I had to visit a client last year in ORD and that was a Monday - Friday gig and was over £7k just for CW!
