In 3 decades, business class has transformed from a slightly fancy economy seat with a cloth headrest cover into a flying hotel room. Has the real cost of seats kept pace with that change, or leapt into a different price bracket altogether?

BA has announced that the tier point cabin bonus is here to stay – even though it has little to do with spend. BA wanted a revenue-based scheme. Then BA built several ways to bypass it when the data requires a gentle nudge…

SeatGuru is gone ☹️ For two decades, it was the bible for frequent flyers trying to dodge misaligned windows, and seats beside a toilet. After years of neglect, TripAdvisor has closed SeatGuru, ending one of the internet’s most beloved travel tools.
