Gloating over your ability to afford luxury is peak non-white behavior. I can't recall the last time I saw a white person walking around with LOUIS VUITTON or GUCCI branding, even though half the white people I'm around are millionaires. It's always financially insecure people (i.e. poor before and soon to be poor again) who have an insatiable need to flex for others.

I work for an airline, business class is amazing, but not worth it if you're not an extremely high income earner or your work is paying for it.

Everyone should be gaining points though, if you're buying from a points retailer and not gaining points, you're leaving money on the table.

Most people earn points on a credit card and then transfer to airlines to use. I’ve probably redeemed more than $100k of flights by now.
>>
>>2842423
No I mean for normal transactions.

I'm not american, but say you shop at Walmart and they offer 1% American Airlines points on purchases. That 1% is baked into the price for ALL consumers, so its worth it to collect the points because you pay for it regardless.

And you use them on other retail not just points.
>>
>>2842535

Class division on planes and trains is cancer, and only exists to segregate the commercial market so passengers aren't able to purchase individual services.

Rich people always think that they're getting a better deal through bundling, but this antisocial business practice increases airline profits, reduces value to the consumers as a whole, and the rich have the stake in the consumer market. So financially it doesn't make sense for the rich, its sold to them as a social perk, a way to humiliate the poor, and that's what makes the rich antisocial, rather than just wealthy.

If you're famous and book economy, airlines will upgrade you "for free" aka. Ban you from economy, lest you make flying economy cool again.

No pain no gain. If you're in the sky you're suffering. You're trapped in a tube with no way out. Paying lots of money to make yourself slightly more comfortable is just cope. Better I spend what I saved on a plush ass hotel room and food that wasn't reheated after being cooked in an airport when I get on the ground.
>>
>>2842660
Let me expand on this to make myself clear. Even the fanciest first class seats cannot compare to a room at a Hampton Inn in Des Moines, Iowa. We could probably also assume that the food options near a mid tier hotel in Des Moines aren't going to be incredible. But compare it to airplane food. It has come a long way since the cliche Seinfeld joke but even on the top tier airlines it's not going to be as good as the Denny's you can walk to from the Hampton Inn parking lot and dine in at 2am while jetlagged. It may look prettier but the taste tells the truth. If something so ordinary and mundane brings you more comfort how in the hell is this true luxury? I'll keep my money.
>>
>>2842562
No, it isn’t. I’ve been redeeming points since ~2013. You can argue valuation because I wouldn’t have spent the cash cost on most of these flights, but at face value for the ticket is probably around $120k. My wife has been with me for most of those flights so it’s really almost double.

If it’s a meaningful amount to you, then you don’t “have it” retard. These pathetic wagie copes are always so stupid. You could eat expired beans out of a can and wear clothes with holes in them but you don’t, do you? Because you can afford something better even though those things would functionally achieve the same purpose. You’re too poor to afford business or too dumb/lazy to earn the points to. That’s all it is. You’re flying coach to SEA try to feel like less of a loser.
>>

It's always people who think like this who burn bright and fade fast. If you won't shut up about how worthless and disposable your money is to you I don't actually believe you're rich.

Nobody cares about home when they're in the sardine can or the copers gallery. Wow you can stretch out and use your laptop! But the wifi barely works. You don't need to share a toilet with the poors! But it's still a fucking airplane toilet and there's a high chance of pissing all over yourself if your timing is wrong and you wander in during clear air turbulence. Want to ask how I know about that? It was easier taking a piss on a Greyhound bus weaving through traffic on a highway on Florida. Even if I have a literal bed there's no fucking way I'm going to be able to sleep either way so it's pointless. I can pop xanax like tic tacs and I still can't relax myself. I'm going to spend the whole flight, long haul or a hop skip and a jump, wide a fucking wake staring out the window. So it makes no sense to pay more money for such an awful experience.

Many boomer and Gen X millionaires are frugal because they're planning to live a middle-class life for 30 years after retirement. Every $1000 they throw away on frivolous consoomer spending now means $2000 less in their retirement fund.

A few months ago I got a free upgrade to business class on an overnight flight to Europe
My original itinerary had me going to Edinburgh w/ layover in Newark on United but because of long delays on flights going or coming from Newark I got last minute rebooked to a Lufthansa flight w/ layover in Frankfurt and to my surprise it was a business class seat
I paid economy but did technically get a free first class upgrade on my original flight to Newark

Economy isn't even uncomfortable, you're just a pansy who thinks a smooth ride on a padded seat in a climate-controlled environment is "hellish". You aren't a Real Traveler, and you never will be. Nine hours in that economy seat is easily the MOST comfortable leg of my trip.
>>
>>2844627
>Economy isn't even uncomfortable
It is on long flights you degenerate. Spending 8+ hours in the same physical position in a confined space next to strangers who are eating, farting, coughing, and sneezing on you is very uncomfortable. If you are in a middle seat it's even worse.
I'll spend the extra few hundred bucks on premium exit row seats. worth every fucking penny.

That's part of the fun of having window seats - exercising such control.

They do.

https://www.lacompagnie.com/en
>>
>>2845215
Yes. Because you pay for points whether you earn them or not. The points can be redeemed for other non flight things. Honestly, non economy class is barely worth it, but if you buy enough shit, you may get a business class trip every few years.
>>
>>2841965

This is the way. I'll spend the 3k I save from a business class ticket on a extra week of vacation.

Spend ~150$ on flights and that was my experience. Fuck yeah I fly economy. Couldn't walk for days after that whole thing though
>>
If it’s a domestic flight, first class is literally just economy with a slightly larger seat.

If it’s an international flight, business class costs like 10 times as much as economy so you’re just burning piles of money for 10 hours of comfort. I’ve done business class twice because I got a free upgrade. Yeah it was nice. Am I willing to spend $5000 to do it again? No. I’m not even poor.

This thread was made by an airlines company by the way. They make a vast majority of their money off the retards that fly business class.
>>
>>2846672
Yep. If I didn't have a credit card situation that churns out miles I wouldn't do it, and I'm pretty wealthy. Psychologically the money doesn't seem as bad when you're buying the tickets since you're adding to an already expensive thing, but out of context people would think it's insane to drop that kind of money for what you're getting. Imagine how luxuriously you'd be eating the whole trip if you dropped 4k into your food budget. You'd eat at the finest joints in town and probably be able to buy a 10/10 escort to share it with.

That said, I usually do business class flights to Asia because I have a ridiculous credit card setup and I'm very glad for it every time. Mostly because I can't sleep sitting up
