This is really common to places like Las Vegas where "mega-conferences" are held.
Many companies now have a policy of not allowing travel in any class other than economy, because of the "Daily Mail" test. So when a massive Microsoft conference (or something similar) is held in Vegas the economy seats sell quickly and are bought by people not spending their own cash, but the airline can't shift the PE or Biz tickets because the purchaser can't claim this back on expenses. The Daily Mail test : it's a concept dreamt up to test how the public would see something. For instance many of us would see that an exec going to a compulsory meeting where by they flew in their own time went straight to event and flew back overnight would be deemed as acceptable. However now spin it as the head of RBS (or something similar). Mr RBS manager attending a massive free jamboree in las vegas yesterday, despite losing the taxpayer billions, Mr RBS flew in BAs oppulent business class seats costing up to £12k where executives like Mr RBS can eat Caviar and have unlimited Crystal champagne. As you can see the Daily Mail story is sensational and most companies don't want that sort of media attention |

We have paid 160pp one way lax-lhr in Oct but bags alone wat 40 so upgrade really only 120, but that was after sale ended, the flights we booked in economy were 600 in sale, we paid 420 after sale, 2 days ago, so with upgrade 580, still less than sale economy price
