You could buy 4 regular economy class ticket for the price of 1 full fare unrestricted economy ticket, so rather pointless.

Could be useful for someone who can claim back the cost of their own ticket from, say, an employer. And who would like to take their, ahem, "secretary" on the flight with them.

Yeah...

I've just checked prices for economy full fare. Usually it costs twice so not worthy. Having said that, it might be worth for those who flight business who may get a complimentary ticket for business or free upgrade for first.
:cool:
