What planet are you living on ? Clearly a different one to me.
As I said, I speak from direct experience.
Before COVID, I could regularly pick up J-class (business) fares on top-quality airlines for 2–3k a pop.
Post-COVID for J-class you'll be lucky to get much change out of 7–8k unless a specific airline has a sale on.
Prices have gone up. That's a fact. I travel enough for business and pleasure to know that. And its the same with my friends and acquaintances.
Sure, if you're looking at the bottom of the barrel end of the sector where the LCC's operate then prices are still cheap. But tools like ITA Matrix were never useful for bottom of the barrel flights, you always just went directly to the website of whichever horrid cheap and nasty operator.
