Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me,
you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.

I very rarely bother responding to challenge/response systems,
especially those from irresponsible companies.

:AFIK, Southwest doesn't have business class.

They now have business class fares. Check out their website.

It's intra-Europe style business class. Fully changable and
refundable, same crummy seats, at a much higher price.

Actually, if you look at their web site more closely, they've just renamed
their fare classes and added "business select" which gets you an A boarding
card, a $5 drink coupon, and an extra frequent flyer credit for about $20
over the normal full fare.

Read more closely. They have Business Fares, not Business Class Fares.

Okay - wasn't aware of that.


They have "business fares", not "business class fares"
They have no business class seating.

Southwest has crummy seats? I don't know what you usually
fly, but Southwest's seats are a damn sight better than
just about any airline's economy seats, and certainly
more comfortable than the first class or ``business select''
or whatever they call them on European flights, which
are basically the same 31'-pitch torture devices as they
have back an economy, except with a free sandwich.

It really isn't Business Class. It is a preferred boarding economy.
Southwest is still one class but for an extra $10 or so, you get a guarantee
into the "A" group for boarding and a free drink. Still open seating, still
"limited" frills.

Last few times I've flown Lufthansa's intraEurope "Business Class" they couldn't
even be bothered to move the armrests to make the seats wider.

The only difference is the salad and coffee in a 'real' cup. Business
class on short hops is dying out, a bit like 1st class on long haul.

Worth noting that some business class tickets have restrictions,
whereas you can buy a fully flex economy class (costs almost the same
as business class).

And nobody in the middle seat...
