I would love to know and crunch the numbers though to see how it compares £££/$$$ economics with the 787-9 A350 or the new 777 coming
rog747,
You need to use the MEL-LHR to compare.
Currently on the 26th Feb the MEL-PER part of the leg cost as to the PER-LHR is an extra.
Business extra $201
Premium Economy extra $127
Economy extra $24
Cheap for a 4+ hour leg - thankfully only around 20% pay that - but clearly subsidised by domestic pax and/or Perth pax.
