I just checked how much Japan Airlines charges for a 1-week round-trip from Tokyo to Paris in the middle of February. ¥97,420 for "lowest coach" vs ¥1,174,490 for "normal business." A 12,514 dollar difference at the current exchange rate. That's basically 7 months rent, or 35 Nexus 4s, or 25 iPads, or 50 shares of Amazon stock, or really just a lot of money for a nicer seat on the same plane arriving at the same time.

- raverbashing 14y agoYes, Coincidentally I just heard that 'Economy plus' is considered by BA to be a different class, rather than 'Economy with better seats' so that's a good option
- raverbashing 14y ago$12k is an absurd price I just did this search, you can find it for around $3k (yes, business class NRT-CDG) with a stop, cheapest without stop around $5k You can get 1st class with a stop for 10k, but really, Business class is more than enough =) Especially for a meeting with clients that may pay itself in a short time.
