So....the cheapest business class ticket is over 7 times the price of the cheapest economy ticket.
Flights booked from the USA (SFO or LAX) on the other hand
US$998 in T class
US$4110 in Z class
So...the cheapest business class ticket is only 4 times the cheapest economy ticket.
More interesting is that the ex SYD economy fare is about 80% of the ex US fare, whereas the ex SYD business fare is 145% of the ex US fare.
Why is UA discriminating against ex Australian business class travellers?
Hey Wimps,
Why not use the old grey matter?
You can fly C class to LAX from TBU for less than AUD 2000.
You can also fly C class to the USA from Asia for about the same amount.
So why not just do it and stop whingeing?
