LAX to Phuket low season

$787.50 + Tax for discounted coach.

$1339 + tax for executive economy.



Thats a big markup for what can only be 2 -3 extra inches of legroom Chris.

All airlines should follow Air France and Air Canada?? plus others, and have 34" seat pitch,not the miserable 28" min on some carriers. IIRC Singapore economy is 32"

As the wife said,those extra couple of inches make all the difference
