    Was booking BA recently. Wanted to fly BA one way and fly back Emirates, various reasons for doing this.

    Return flight was around 800£ and one way was 1600£.

    God only knows who programmed this in, was it SASGuru?

    Someone suggested this was to discourage one way flights, if so, that is one hell of a way of doing it.
    It makes perfect sense from a price differentiation perspective. Some people will pay £800 and some more. Those who will only pay £800 are price sensitive and will find the cheaper price.

Absolutely hellish, but probably room for MF's 'stature'. Next time I went on an Emirates A380 which was a totally different experience
    When I fly to Washington, business class is like that. i always make sure I get the window on one of those. Off to Denver shortly and will make sure I don't get a place in the 3...

    I'm considering paying for the upgrade because I'm saving the points to fly The Wife (tm) business class to Japan next year for a ski trip.

    Strange that is what NLYUK told me after your last meeting.

    The bite marks though might take some healing.
