If this is true, I am one of the1% other passengers. My experience is that there more than 1% flying BRU-FRA point-to-point. But there were indeed dirty tricks of LH to bring passengers to business class, e.g. configuring some planes with 2/3 of the seats in C class: the Y class was soon filled with connecting passengers and the point-to-point pax had little choice other than booking business class...

That is something that SN will find tough to emulate...

You are right. 99% is putting it too strong maybe, but I think you know what I mean.

ECO pax with final destination FRA are a minority, that's just the way it is...

Your first and second point are a bit contradictory... if 99% of pax are on connections, how can many be left to have a meeting in Frankfurt? You may have a point though! But I believe SNBA at least has the mentality and willingness to cope with demanding people. Another answer might be that SNBA could well attract pax of its own.

first point is about ECONOMY pax, second point is about BUSINESS class pax. :wink:
