Is there a bigger scam than first class airplane tickets? You get these tiny little spaces for yourself, but since it's on an aircraft, it's somehow considered luxurious and worth what normal people pay for six months of rent.

You’re mostly paying in order to avoid having some shitskin sit next to you for the next 12 hours.

More space, nicer ammenities, not needing to associate with the rifraf. I just wish we could have separate entrances for first class and coach.

But doood the belt is golden, GOLDEN!

Agreed, but I think it's because I'm autistic that I'm not getting it. Normies probably do it purely for status and to say they flew first class.

The alternate is an explosion of private jet ownership and the biosphere careening down the global warming stairs (which I warned you about bro, I told you dog).

it's for people for whom $1000 or $10000 is dust and not worth considering. then of course you'd prefer the luxury seat
even more rich have the whole plane for themselves

Business class is more than good enough for me. It costs waaaay less, but you still get the good seat and the privacy of not sitting right next to somebody. I just don't need all the meme amenities.

1. Most people don't pay sticker price for first class.
Between getting upgraded because you have status, or because you paid miles or dollars for an upgrade, or bought it with miles, most of those seats aren't getting filled with people paying sticker. This is especially pronounced if we're talking international first class vs business.

>it's somehow considered luxurious and worth what normal people pay for six months of rent

Yes when the alternative is having a fifteen hour flight in economy and having two jeets on either side drooling on you as you desperately attempt to fall asleep when seated then yes that's worth it to a lot of people, again remembering that most of these seats are had for far less than sticker.

Normal people are not typically spending $3k-$20k on an airline ticket, so what normal people spend on rent is an irrelevant metric. Wealthy people will spend $10k-$20k on a leather handbag, so why is a nice flight that wild of a metric? Someone very well off and constantly paying full price for international first class may well own their own jet for domestic flights. The price of flying private makes these first class tickets seem like a relative bargain.

Bringing it back here, if you're a buttmad brokie trying to sour grapes it, cope and seethe. It's nicer to have a little business or first suite on a long ass flight. If it's not worth it to you because you're a brokie, no one is trying to convince you to actually spend your money on it. Rather all you have to comprehend is that lots of people are not brokies and that for the kind of person picking up a $50k watch and spending $150k on household staff or whatever it's really not wild to buy a F seat.
