First Class Are for Peasants

What? No Way, you don't travel in first class beacuse it improves the untility (you get to your destination at the same time as the dog in the cargo!), you do it because of the amazing experience.

Two years back I flew Thai BKK to LHR in First, and for whatever reason they didn't upgrade anyone in business to first, so me and my sister had the entire (18 seat) cabin to ourselves. That was pretty cool.

I was speaking in relation to the Concorde. First class is pretty nice but it doesn't beat a real bed. I'd rather get to my destination quicker!

Plus, airline food doesn't taste the same because elevation and the recycled air affects your taste!

But if it's just a Dreamliner, then yes, experience FTW.

$23k actually seems 'reasonable' for what you get at that price.

Flying business class to Europe on Air Canada is around $10k-$12k right now. These are for those "space pod" seats that can recline all the way into beds.

Those AC pods in the old Boeing's are POS. Surprisingly, I like the Delta fleet.

I want to try Cathay's pods:

With all of AC's bullshit program changes I'm thinking about switching to KrisFlyer.

That flight would be around 93,500 KrisFlyer miles + ~$400 which is pretty sweet.

I fly for free on Air Canada, so I could give a damn whether I'm in coach or in the cargo hold.

Twice been upgrade to first, nice, but nothing compared to what a real carrier can offer.

How do you fly for free?

My comment was more in relation to Air Canada's FFP than Air Canada's flight service. You can still earn points from AC flights on KrisFlyer.

Ya. I mean the service is really nice, awesome selection of food for long flights. That shit is all good if someone else is paying for it lol. But coming from your own wallet its hard (for me) to justify the 300%-500% premium over economy or premium-economy seats if you're able to fall asleep for a few hours without full recline into a bed. There are more than enough ballers out there to fill those seats though.

I actually sleep pretty well in economy seats, assuming there's not some huge fat dude beside me. If I get semi-baller, I'll just buy two economy seats, and use the one beside me as a buffer from the peasants.

My sister highheels for AC and my brother in law is in the right seat.
