@donkeypong - Lol. The classic 'Bait and switch' strategy. The 24$ lure used to fish for more than $150 ultimately out of your pocket. Nice.
Reminds me of a classic sales story of the guy selling reading glasses (in those good old days when you had to go in person to buy them). When a customer walks in, points and says how much are those - the salesman says $50, looks at the face of the customer to see if he has flinched at the price and if not, calmly adds "for the frame". Then the customer asks "how much for the lens" and the salesman goes "$25" and again takes a look, pauses and says "For one glass" etc. etc. and so on.
I totally agree with the seat recline restriction decision, just like you but I would rather not have the 'bait and switch' getting used by all the reputed carriers as well.
Thanks for this eye-opening article. Upvoted
