if it's a short flight i'm not gonna waste money upgrading. if it's like 5+ hours long i probably will
>>2838996
>>2838994>we arrive on the same plane
>>2839535You could also eat beans out of a can for every meal and survive but you don’t, do you?
>>2838994unironically never flying $300-$400 tickets ever again ill pay $1100 to have my own personal dtf flight attendant thank you
>>2838994Picrel is the look a pajeet gets when he brags about flying business class.>ew whatever go away plsGloating 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.
>>2839577And they're usually knock-offs.
>>2838994>They drink out of plastic cups
>>2839577Women with money have Hermes bags.
>>2838994The airlines I use don't even have different seat classes
>have a stiff drink in the airport>dose off on the plane>wake up somewhere new for cheap
>>2839577>Gloating over your ability to afford luxuryBusiness class is not a luxury, it's just paying for basic dignity.
>>2840089You have sleep apnea and probably obese
>>2838994>paying *2 the price to larp as royalty for a fraction of the dayWe arrive at the same airport, we’re going to the same location, on the same plane. Wanna be royal? Save up for a private jet. Don’t larp as upper class when you pay two times the money for a better seat, this is lottery winner mentality.
>>2838994>buy cheap ticket for 400€ rt Europe -> Asia>spend 100€ for exit row seat and 50€ for nice neck pillow and blanket>pack sandwich, hot water, travel tea pot and snacksliterally all my flights are super comfyyou're a paypig OP

>>2842038are you mad you paid 10x for a 12h experience and you weren't even more /comfy/ than me?sucks to be you
>>2840686Since when is going through an airline a dignified experience? Let me inspect your belongings, pat you down, and put this mask on your face. Then you can pay me for the dignity of going "business class" lmao.

>>2838994I 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.
>>2842325ok schizonow back to your containment board >>>/pol/
>>2842334>muh pointsLol, do people still actually?Tell me how much '''money on the table''' you're leaving for typical flights. It's hardly anything. Shopping around airlines is far more value than 'showing loyalty' for $5 in some meme currency.
>>2838994do womyn find that unattractive? good,one more reason to keep on doing it Womyn are garbage cancer and I will always go out of my way to make them as repulsed by me as possible
>>2842423Most 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.
>>2842423No 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.
>>2842535Larp
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.
>>2842540Shit makes me so mad. Frequent flyers can board the oven first.
>>2842581Raging at the clouds because you are too dumb to get a creditcard
>>2842581I agree that its terrible, especially when normal people take 2 flights a year if they're lucky but pay an additional 1.5% on all purchases. but you may as well get an account and play the game
>>2842540>American Airlinesewww
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.
>>2842660Let 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.
>>2842562No, 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.
>>2842660For people with money it isn’t a question of either or.
>>2842678If I didn't have money why the fuck would I be going places? I have it but I don't light it on fire spending it on retarded shit.
>>2842679If 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.
>>2842685It'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. Rather I think you desperately need validation from strangers on the internet. If you were talking about mitigating aches and pains rather than trying to status signal I'd take you more seriously.
>>2842687Always some broke ass wagie like you coping “I’d rather spend the money on something else!!!!” Yeah because you make $60k and have to choose. Flying business is a better all around expense than flying economy and there is no denying it.
>>2842692Yeah you're rich as hell living luxe yet posting here with the retards to flex on them. We believe you and think you're really cool. Last night you flew first class on Singapore and slept in a full bed the whole time. You don't work at 7-11.
>I have MONEY MONEY MONEY! You should respect me! When people talk like this I think of the most gaudy tasteless shit. Like a Pitbull music video. In Miami popping bottles with models! People who talk like this could literally have one billion real dollars that are not just illiquid assets and I would still think they are corny.>there's no fuckin way I'm flying economy I'm not a manlet that shit is gonna wreck my kneesIf someone says something like this I will respect them.
>>2842696You keep using the world rich copey.
>>2842709Okay I'm sorry that was very politically incorrect of me. I forgot that I should say "people of wealth, status, and esteem."
>>2842712Drink your SEWP (statused, esteemed, wealthy people), poorboi.
>>2842712Type whatever you want but you’ll still be typing it from economy.
>>2842724Well I already argued that 5 stars in the sky can't touch 2 stars on the ground. So simply put I don't care. To me flying is a turd. You're bragging about your turd being gold plated. So what it's all shit regardless.
>>2842728I’m not bragging about anything. I’m pointing out that for pot people flying business you can afford that plus a nice hotel. You are the definition of loser back home. Sad!
>>2838994I just watch movies on the plane so it makes no difference to me.
>>2842730Nobody 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.
>>2842734Actual bus rider seething lmao
>>2842736I'll ride anything. A plane, a bus, cars, your wife. I was born to suffer, born to ride, born to die.
>>2842692Many 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. It's unironically the wasteful spenders like you who end up as a poorfag living paycheck to paycheck on your $12000 monthly salary. I bet you even drink at bars.
>>2842747>$12,000 a monthPre tax I’ll make about triple that this year after bonus. I’m not concerned about drinking at a bar a few times a month.
>>2842579Huh, an actual truth nuke…
>>2842728You still fail to understand it's not an either/or. I fly business/first long haul and stay in 5 star hotels. Flying economy wouldn't make me get a nicer hotel.
>>2838994
>>2838994Literally me
wagies seething like fucking CRAZYI love these threads
If you are not flying on your own private plane then you are a poorfag.
>>2842936Here's the thing. I don't really care. I'm not impressed. I don't need you to be impressed, disgusted, or care at all about my experience in economy either. I just said my piece. >I have money to burn. Therefore I burn it.Boring. Let's see you do this:https://youtu.be/InZydV39hb8
>>2840719Sleep apnea is other people's problem
>>2843038“I’m not impressed!” Anon loudly announces to his Thai hostel.
I have a friend that only flies business but then stays in hostels and motels. I never understood it. I asked him once about it and he claimed it was just his way at increasing his odds of getting with women.
What's funny to me is people who fly business or first class care more about me flying economy than I do.
>>2838994That's right. Subsidize my flight, richie.
>>2843098"I have money!" Anon loudly announces to a 4chan thread where such a boast cannot be verified, and even if he did respond to a taunt of "pics or it didn't happen" he would be signaling status into a void where nobody can give him upvotes to reinforce his self worth derived from consumer spending.

>>2842724kek
>>2843039That's fair, when they remove your corpse it will be annoying for others.
>>2843101Business class is like a 1000x improvement in comfort over economy.A fancy hotel is at the VERY best maybe a 10x improvement over a reasonably priced one.Not an unreasonable thing to do tbqh
>>2838994>pay x4 to sleep in a very slightly larger chairYou are retarded.
>>2843262ANA business class is also ridiculous, you get a fucking couch and a privacy door. I could live in this seat
>>2838994Who the fuck cares? Air travel sucks ass and takes three times the time written on your ticket either way. You just use it to get to your destination and forget about it as fast as possible hoping that you won't have to visit an airport ever again.
>>2839535giga based
>paying for business class with money>paying for business class with pointsA few months ago I got a free upgrade to business class on an overnight flight to EuropeMy 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 seatI paid economy but did technically get a free first class upgrade on my original flight to Newark
>>2839535
>>2844562Still the same plane
>>2843260Economy 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 uncomfortableIt 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.
>>2842579Based and red-pilled.
>>2843157If it's the most profitable why don't they make a plane that it's business class only?
>>2844969There are such airlines and configurations.
>>2844969One of the benefits of business class is being able to feel you're better than the other classes. Economy class only exists as a gallery for business class users.
>>2839577This. It's always Indians that have brand logo stuff and lease a nice car but have no assets at all.
>>2844633>Not getting up every hour to have a quick stroll and stretch.What's wrong with you?
>>2845141I don’t want to be an inconvenience to two people when I’m the window seat so I wait until my neighbour gets up
>>2845166That's part of the fun of having window seats - exercising such control.So fun to stand up to grab beers every 30 minutes or so, and wake up everybody along the way.Leaving the window cover open, and dousing everybody in bright sunset rays, adds to the occasion, too, before getting told off, kek.
>>2845141I do and I don't have to climb over a bunch of people to do it
ok anons assuming I fly domestic 2-3x a year and international 1x a year, is it even worth it to try and credit card maxx for travel?
>>2844969They do.https://www.lacompagnie.com/en
>>2845215Yes. 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.
>>2841965This is the way. I'll spend the 3k I save from a business class ticket on a extra week of vacation.
>>2845215Depends on what your normal organic spend is and if you can actually earn enough from a card to justify the annual fee.
>>2838994>sitting in economy seat, just boarded>wearing suit, returning from destination wedding>flight attendant notices me>"sir it looks like you're in the wrong seat!">say no, show her my ticket>she's surprised, upgrades me into first class>other passengers seething>take my comfy seat in first class>get premium snacks (it's a short flight)>midway through go to bathroom>finish up, exit>flight attendant is outside, pushes me into bathroom>incredibly tight but have the best sex of my life>exit bathroom, pilot peeks out of the cockpit, gives me a thumbs up>go back to my seat>sleep the rest of the flight>rest of the flight goes fine, land, clap, and leave>later find note with a phone number in jacket pocket>text it, it's the flight attendant, give me a hotel address and room number>go there and fuck 5 more times that nightSpend ~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.
>>2846672Yep. 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
>>2843155>>2842734mental illness is strong in this thread.I once flew first class to JNB only to fly first class. 10/10 would do it again. Stay poor, fags
>>2846585This is how poorfags think. The 3k I spend on a business class ticket is not taking away from anything else on my vacation.
>>2844620this comment inevitably appears as soon as business class is mentioned on this boardsomehow the people who say this fail to recognise that the time on the plane is only part of the experience
>>2846661>>flight attendant is outside, pushes me into bathroom>>incredibly tight but have the best sex of my life>>exit bathroom, pilot peeks out of the cockpit, gives me a thumbs upshit that never happened
>>2847067o rly? ya think?
>>2847067no shit retard
Just don't be a fat ass and economy class isn't so bad
>flying>not taking a cruise insteadYou can always spot the middle class poorfags larping as rich because they still gotta cram their vacation into the 2 weeks Mr Shekelstein gave them from their goy daycare. Meanwhile I have unlimited time and am in no rush to get anywhere.
>>2847522t. Sailing around on section 8 of the seas
I don't have enough money to pay $2000 for a first class plane ticket. That's like enough money for one whole vacation right there. Just get me my economy ticket and get me to my destination.
>>2846672>business class costs like 10 times as much as economyOn my most flown route it's about 2x so I pay for it almost always (14h long haul)That said I live in a poorfag country so J class demand is low, while I work for an US company remotely for US salary
>>2846661nice larp anon
>Air India >Air China
>>2850549>>Air Chinai travelled on air china a few months ago, from europe, to asia, in business classi do not recommend it
>>2850549>>Air India >>Air Chinathis + European airlines with old aircraft (Eastern European airlines, some Lufthansa stock) are the worst business class choices. you get economy quality for business class price
>>2844627Manlet detected. I'm 6'4" and the last time I flew Aus-UK return was a facking nightmare, even with exit row seats. Going back next year and seriously considering business even tho I'm not a richfag
>>2845170Get a log of this weirdo
>>2838994hell yeah I fly economy. People who pay twice as much to experience 10% less discomfort during a flight fail the marshmallow test.
>>2851394But what if their parents already have millions of marshmallows?
>>2851394>10% less discomfortlmao
