1299 for Business Class is a steal. I paid 2853 for my Economy Class tickets for Stockholm to So Paulo.

it's not worth it IMO. i can still sleep well in C and would rather have a better meal in a restaurant before the flight and safe a lot of cash.1700 EUR get's you a nice case of fine wines that provides a higher satisfaction than what LH F is serving.

Of course LH's C class is not state of the art anymore but for 1700 Eur difference I'd take C over F anytime. Maybe i will think differently in 20 years from now.

Both numbers are shockers ... I concede.

Can't you regularly get PE for 1200?

That expensive Y ticket was probably for travel during peak season (World Cup? Carnival?).

It depends on the situation, I guess. If my kids had to suffer from starvation because of the flight, I wouldn't book it, period; if I can afford everything else we need plus the flight in F, why not. -- Have just booked a LH flight in F to GIG and looking forward to it.

Usually my tickets are booked on the day of departure, but even then I've seen Business Class fares at around the same price as I paid for that Economy ticket. If there's any consolation, I did get upgraded to Premium Economy on check in.

So, shortly after I posted my original post BA posted a special offer online. Pay Business Class and get a one-way upgrade to First Class for free. So I ended up booking with them despite the strong support in this thread for LH over BA.
My first trip on LH F is thus yet to come.

Thank you for all your thoughts and inputs.

Glad to hear that but that still sounds rough.

Well, while it may not be a bad deal, BA F and LH are two different stories...
