. 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 !
Twenty years ago, my company used to pay for a round trip to Athens, in Tempo Challenge 1,700€. I was accustomed to paying 300€ to 600€ out of my own pocket, to upgrade to a real flex business ticket, endorsable without any discussion to any IATA airline. Today, I target refundable but non endorsable tickets in business ranging from 500€ to 700€. How can I expect to have the same level of services as at that time, with a purser transforming my flight into a delightful wine tasting experience?
