Nick, you will make it there. I don't reckon I will, I usually run out of useful things to contribute quite quickly!

Sure it was a LH plane?

I’ll take that bet. Am routinely able to get AF P fares in the 4k-6k EUR range.

To Asia or the US?

Also, unfortunately (for me), there are never “good deals” from the US to Europe whereas prices from Europe to the US are almost always significantly lower.

Both, but agree that the difference in experiences probably comes down to the fact that I'm usually ex-CDG or ex-LHR and you're ex-US.

I like that the bad dream cabin is of intra-EU business class and the real life cabin is long-haul business class, mostly because:

(1) You'll still experience intra-EU business class on Lufthansa.

(2) Not sure "waking up to" LH's longhaul business class would be that great, but I suppose a drastic improvement over intra-EU :-)

Yes. Sign me up for 4k-6k EUR ex-CDG in La Premiere to JFK! It’s double that from here to Paris.
