Economy premium is another interesting seat which costs in the 100Ks with the said Western/European Airlines eg. Air France, Virgin etc. That being said, no airline has business class seats as good as KQ (very wide). Travelling economy, it makes sense taking an indirect flight because 14 hours is too much in such a tiny seat. Also note that I'm talking about "normal times". In normal times, KQ would not go anywhere with such pricing. KQs business class to US is a hot sell and the pricing is similar or worse. The best business class in Africa #KQisDEAD This song has been sung over and over This crap is accelerating downwards to sub 1 bob without hope of recovery. #KQisDEAD after ailing from COVID-19. I don't know how it will come out of this one. Bailout!!!!! Not a bailout like US airlines that behaved badly.KQ and US airlines need to be allowed to fail and have new more honest owners take over.If they collapse,the planes dont disappear into the ether but just get better owners who will learn to be prudent knowing they will be allowed to go bankrupt if they misbehave.Its the essence of free capitalism that purges dishonest players who engage in excess.Bankruptcies are good as it relocates resources to better management  KQ is more of a national symbol, I doubt any standing government would allow it to fail. The graveyard of corporate failure is littered with corpses of national airlines. Even Warren Buffett got hit. He had sworn off them but then went back in. I wonder what he will do in the future. Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett
