I hear what you're saying, but I can't justify paying a full multiple of base fare.

Economy plus might not be the best thing in the world, but 50% more is at least within the realm of human affordability, and partial recline and my own armrest sounds downright luxurious. For 5x as much as a coach fare, the perks better be things I shouldn't discuss on a public forum.

And I don't really care about the quality of food or service, how many times they bring me a hot towel, etc. Just want a good seat.
