So far this sounds more 'affordable' than 'business class comfort' which I STILL cannot afford no matter how hard I try to justify it to myself.

There's gotta be a market for an all-business-class plane, since we know that first/business subsidize coach, but nobody's doing it yet. The airlines want to throw those business class seats out as perks to people spending corporate dollars, not charge the end user what they actually cost, in which case "real humans" could afford them.

There are a handful of all business class routes. For example: https://www.britishairways.com/en-gb/information/travel-clas...

Wow, cool! Of course, I tried to get more info on pricing and following the booking link took me to a "Generic booking" page which, even flying into JFK and out of LCY, didn't show me the option, but I'd be really curious if I lived in NYC, for sure.

I've also had this issue with the "Premium Service" United flights between SFO and NYC/BOS. It supposedly exists, but whenever I search, I can't filter on those particular flights.

Really? How come first has all but disappeared on European flights and business keeps shrinking?
