Well, totally makes sense that they want to offer it to you so that you may discover the wonders of La Premiere, but they don't want to be selling it at such a discounted price on a regular basis. So maybe once every few years they'll let you peek in front just to see what may be new and remind you what you've been missing.

CDG-SIN
Y to W 228€
Y to J 578€

I declined both as I'd be stuck in a hotel for 14 days on arrival so sleep wasn't a concern.

😂😂

(Though the Y to J at 578€ is not bad, especially if you were on a cheap Y fare)

MEX-CDG J to P at check in desk at MEX 1250 EUR or 156k miles. Didn't take it, we are two and...just didn't take it, even I think the price is fantastic. We will see our chances on board with purser.

Argument for 1250 we have QR J to Asia won so far Guess I cant have it all in life...

Please tell me the Cristalline domestic flight was in February, and that we are not to expect inconsistent water-service from March onwards...

At these times it almost sounds better to voluntarily downgrade yourself on a plane to free row of 3 seats...

LOL. As I was traveling with a friend who was footing the bill, I let him decide, and he opted to remain in PE, especially after I told him that it appeared we would be the only two pax in the cabin.

And so it was. Charming cabin crew, who offered us champagne and wine selections from Business (due to my Platinum status and probably an empty plane, too), plus espressos in real porcelaine cups which was nice after eating with wooden utensils!

Made the right choice especially for a day flight. If offered the same deal for the return overnight, I may be tempted ...

The service might be good but for comfort I'd still rather fly empty coach than PE
