But there aren't just Minis and RRs on the road. There's plenty of comfort available in between those two categories at reasonable prices. With arguably the exception of those airlines offering Y plus options, in most cases you have two choices: Discomfort (not always cheap either) of Comfort at highly inflated fares. The only time you can approach "reasonable" Business Class fares (long haul) is if you fly on a highly competitive route via another carrier's hub, instead of direct. (E.g., I fly BRU-LAX via AMS at almost half the Business Class fare charged for AMS-LAX).
