It feels insane, only because the market is inconsistent.
The average family with children that flies a few times a year really do only care about cost. But the frequent flier cares more both about comfort than pure cost. For the wealthy, it's all about comfort.
On many Delta flights the premium economy (Comfort Plus) is sold out 4 weeks in advance. People will pay the extra $100 for 4 more inches of legroom especially if the flight is longer than 4 hours.

- bb88 8y agoIs that because it's only an hour and a half flight if that?
- vonmoltke 8y agoI bought a United Economy Plus subscription, because I will never fly in regular (or, shudder, basic) economy. It's physically painful for me on most US domestic planes.
