F14,
Please don't try putting words in to my mouth such as "high class", an airline, any airline, does not need to be high class to be better than FR or some other LoCo's, they just need to be above 'gutter' level.
Airlines that I will readily and happily, and often do, travel with are Swiss, Austrian/Tyrolean, KLM (except that they can be tight with the refreshments), Lufthansa (but they can be lacking in personality), Ukraine International, MALEV Hungarian, SAS etc. etc. etc.
And as for recent (all inclusive) round trip fares that I have recently paid, well LHR-VIE-LED-VIE-LHR was GBP156, BHX-ZRH-FCO-ZRH-BHX was circa GBP130 with BHX-ZRH-MXP-ZRH-BHX being circa GBP120.
