If 300+€ for an economy return within Europe became a normal price, I expect to at least get my drink and a peaceful environment, not this BOB nonsense.
I'm currently paying extra to fly AFKL because of a much more relaxed experience. Having just secured *G until 12/2026, I'll go for a price/schedule instead if BOB is introduced in any form. If Air France becomes another Lufthansa, I might as well fly Lufthansa.
I thought standard eco tickets (A/R) with a correspondance in CDG (or AMS) always cost >300 €......that's what I've always paid for FRA - CDG - metropolitain France for years, booked 4 months in advance
. Or perhaps FRA is just notoriously expensive given the lack of LCCs......
I remember being quoted something like 485 € for FRA - CDG - MRS a couple years ago over the pont d'Ascension !
