It's intra-Europe style business class. Fully changable and refundable, same crummy seats, at a much higher price. Actually, if you look at their web site more closely, they've just renamed their fare classes and added "business select" which gets you an A boarding card, a $5 drink coupon, and an extra frequent flyer credit for about $20 over the normal full fare. >>They now have business class fares.

I don't know what you usually fly, but Southwest's seats are a damn sight better than just about any airline's economy seats, and certainly more comfortable than the first class or ``business select'' or whatever they call them on European flights, which are basically the same 31'-pitch torture devices as they have back an economy, except with a free sandwich. >Southwest's seats are a damn sight better than > just about any airline's economy seats, and certainly > more comfortable than the first class or ``business select'' > or whatever they call them on European flights, which > are basically the same 31'-pitch torture devices as they > have back an economy, except with a free sandwich. Last few times I've flown Lufthansa's intraEurope "Business Class" they couldn't even be bothered to move the armrests to make the seats wider. -- "Tell me what I should do, Annie." "Stay. Here.

The only difference is the salad and coffee in a 'real' cup. Business class on short hops is dying out, a bit like 1st class on long haul. Worth noting that some business class tickets have restrictions, whereas you can buy a fully flex economy class (costs almost the same as business class). > -- > "Tell me what I should do, Annie." > "Stay.

Business > class on short hops is dying out, a bit like 1st class on long haul. Much like "first class" on many local trains in europe. I've been in supposed "first class" cars on trains and didn't know it. >>>Southwest's seats are a damn sight better than >>> just about any airline's economy seats, and certainly [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > The only difference is the salad and coffee in a 'real' cup. Why would they mix salad and coffee in a cup? >They now have business class fares. Check out their website. Read more closely. They have Business Fares, not Business Class Fares. -- "Tell me what I should do, Annie." "Stay. Here.

Southwest is still one class but for an extra $10 or so, you get a guarantee into the "A" group for boarding and a free drink. Still open seating, still "limited" frills. Jeff |
