DtA, unfortunately you are right, much to my dismay. But am I the only one who still wishes for, and is willing to pay for, a little extra comfort? Business Class within Europe is ridiculously expensive and I certainly don't need that product for a 1 or 2 hour flight. But where I might now pay €150, I personally would be happy to pay an extra €100 for a little more leg room. Whenever, I fly to distant holiday destinations within Europe I always try and find carriers which offer a comfort class product. Generally I find it to be full or close to full, which would indicate that there obviously is demand for it. If an LCC was to sell a small percentage of seats at an appropriate fare with a more generous seat pitch, but with the same pay-as-you-go cabin service, they would fill them. It would quite likely generate an increase in their client base too.
