These were my initial thoughts, is the CE popular because it is still priced somewhat affordably (although I get the point presented earlier that during school holidays the prices can get more insane)?

Although I have to say that in my earlier (non-status and travelling light) life I'd still have chosen a 150 PLN KRK-LHR economy flight over the nearly 500 PLN CE one, especially if a return fare, with the more expensive inbound factored in, was even more in favour of the ET... Especially if flying occassionally and not hunting for a status.
