(Yes it is very expensive. Only £1500 return Business Class from Dublin, and about £4,000 with Virgin)
+1 from me on the premium cabin prices with Virgin.
As a comparison I will be heading to Malaysia in December. BHD-Langkawi, Premium Economy with BA for £1100. That is equivalent or less cost (to travel almost twice the distance) than Virgin want for a similar ‘high season’ prices in the same cabin from BFS to MCO.
As already mentioned, from Dublin you can fly AA to MCO for £650 in Premium Econ if booked sensibly in advance and clear border control before you even leave this island.
Maybe Virgin don’t really care about the premium market as long as they are filling 300+ Y seats out of BFS? Premium cabin occupancy might just be cream on top?
