You haven't been paying attention to the latest developments,

Unfortunately, you may have to travel first-class to do that on many
routes. I like saving money as much as anyone but is that the only thing
that matters? The arrangement does not look particularly safe for

Then I'll get on a boat or a train.

Lufthansa gave me dinner on MAD-FRA last week. It was some sort of
