Never really looked at the difference in price.

>>58477733
Yes. You can get to pick your own film to watch, and have a seat that doubles as a bed. You also get caviar and champagne, and chocolate if you want it. And you have your own private small shower with a complementary Tom Ford cologne. And you don't have to sit next to a fat man snorting while he eats and watches Avengers: Endgame.

>>58477733
No, it's midwit cope for people that don't fly private.

>>58477784
Ah. You fly private? Do you charter or own the aircraft?

>>58477733
For me no, but I'm slumming it. Like $300 to fly back from Paris to LAX in coach, including my carryon backpack, so it's definitely not worth adding another $1000 to fly business.

Yeah it fucking sucks sitting next to retards for 13 hours in a cramped seat, but I can do just about anything for 13 hours. Last time my seat didn't even have electricity so I was just lucky I had my charged backup battery with me and lots of books on my phone.

Even if bitcoin hit a million bucks I'd find it hard to justify it to myself. $100 an hour just isn't worth it to me. Now, on flixbus I do reserve the seat next to me so I don't sit next to anyone but that's like $4-8/hour for the improvement and that's worth it. Lotta fatties riding the 'flix.

it's worth it if the money means afford it no problems. the catering experience is better, no armchair sharing, and as someone mentioned the chairs double as beds (which is a huge deal for me) if you're an irritable person and cant stand economy then it seems like a nice departure from that poor house. please note that i have never flown business class and have no idea wtf im talking about

What airlines have the best rewards programs? I Ride lyft and uber sometimes too

>>58477808
Charter, you don't even interact with niggers, drive right up to the jet and don't do layovers.

>>58477784
if im flying from west coast to europe for example, id rather fly first class, get drunk watch a movie and fall asleep in a seat that basically folds out into a bed, than to be in a private plane for so long. flying private is not expensive and can even be cheaper than first class. but some people think all private flights are like being on airforce one. most private flights are in little cessnas that have less space than first class and no flight service

>>58477733
Depends on how long the flight is. I don’t think first class is all that useful on a small plane going on a 2hr flight, but I’ll definitely do it for a 10hr international flight.

Business class now is what first class used to be. Old business class is now called premium economy. It's a lot better than regular economy, bigger seat, more elbow space, better meal, bigger screen. Get a real glass to drink from and metal cutlery too.

I think it's worth it on intercontinental flights

>>58478144
Premium economy is not worth it on the last flight I looked at. It's basically more about the meal because in terms of leg and shoulder room, it was like 1 extra inch. I'm a lifter so even one extra inch isn't doing shit for my shoulders. I'm going to be crammed in regardless. Leg room never really bothered me. I nearly got suckered into it too for like $150 but glad I did the research it wasn't worth it.

Maybe on other kinds of airplanes it's better but I was on some new airbus variant. If it's boeing I ain't going.

Im 32 years old and i never travelled via plane (flew once in a glider)

You simp. Post address and I'll come round and help you 'fly' through the air...minus a ticket

>>58478805
Im not poor, i could afford to travel anywhere many times

>>58478734
You're not missing anything. It's basically a humiliation ritual where you treated like a criminal going through security check points and presenting your papers and interrogated in immigration by power tripping wagies. Normies love it of course, and it's the peak experience of their lives.

>>58478826
For sure im not missing this shit
But i feel i want to travel outside Europe, literally everyone did

>>58477733

There's nothing like it with a good airline on an overseas trip. They come with cubicle walls you can close and a reclining bed. I literally kicked back and gooned to BBC porn for like 9 of the 12 hours on my last O'Hare to Tokyo trip.

>>58477733
absolutely not unless you're a multi-millionaire. it's literally thousands more

>>58477733
For long flights, yes, it's significantly nicer. If you've got back problems, or a bit of claustrophobia, or general flying anxiety, it all gets a little better.
But unless you're cleverly using credit card points or miles, or your employer buys you the ticket, it's only affordable if you're already upper middle class.
Private jets are quite a bit more expensive, and that's especially true for oceanic flights, and probably won't make any financial sense unless you're already well into 8 figs, preferably 9.

>>58478826
There are ways to grease a few paws beforehand and skip most of the boorish security theater they inflict upon the poor.

Flying private is for poors, the pilots and security checks are much worse as they fly a lot less, also the planes are small and gay.

I don't think so, you are only going to take a flight, not to have fun on the plane, when I fly I prefer to play, check my bags of dextools or just sleep man

>>58477733
It's not worth flying any (((public class))) anymore, especially in a plane made by Boeing

basically. I have status and sometimes get bumped to first for free. one time i got bumped and STILL had to sit next to a nigger

I flew first class on JAL's new A350 from Dallas to Tokyo, was it worth 30k? Yes
And I'll do it again
there were 4 flight attendants for the 3 of us in the first class cabin

>He flew during golden week to Japan.
I guess money can't buy sense.

>>58479899
It was for business
also wasn't actually that busy, sure the Shinkansen was sold out in the mornings to Osaka, but other than that it felt like a typical working week

i know you'll probably say it was larp but legit happened, that day even my $pajamas went up 40% so im inclined to believe that flying in biz class makes you sexier, improves your finances and overall improves your life

If it was only $150 more it was probably domestic, which is generally a tier below intercontinental in terms of space. Like domestic economy is even worse than intercontinental economy in terms of space. Domestic first generally wont have fold down seats but intercontinental business will etc.

Names vary by airline too, usually best to just google the aircraft type for the airline in question and see what it actually looks like. Most have seat maps so you can see the layout per type

>>58477733
No. That is why it is business class. You make your company pay for it.

>>58477784
>hurdur fly private
LARPing poor nigger detected.
Private jets have limited range and do not do true intercontinental, despite the claimed range.
Get a FIRST class ticket, not business class.

>>58477733

how would i know? i only went on a cheap economy flight when i was 14. im 25 about to be 26 now

>>58477733
Go for Premium Economy unless you're obscenely wealthy.

>>58477733
For longer flights, definitely.

>>58483874
Nice new ID lmao

>>58477733
nah dude, since I started writing down all the expenses I have for the month things like a better seat on the plane make me sick, I would even put that little bit in zoomer to at least feel like I did something other than waste money

>>58477733
Flying is a pain in the ass regardless of how good of a seat you buy
The real trick is to get the cheapest seat and just get blackout drunk, literally skip those 14 hours like it's a video game kek

>>58477733
If you don't need the money - sure.

>>58479825
There a seatbelt for that bed?

>mfw hit heavy turbulence and get thrown against the ceiling in first class bed kek

Depends on the plane, anon. Across the oceans tier planes you get what amounts to a little sleeper cabin. Across continents it's just sitting in the front of the plane.

>>58477737
yes you have

>>58477733
It's just the same thing. I'd rather use that extra money to buy more DUA and stake it on the Brillion DeFi terminal to earn NAI tokens.

>>58477733
I don't know if it counts but last week thanks to conan pumping i decided to treat myself to a business class flight to france (to an all inclusive 5 stars hotel for a 5 days vacation), i wore my most expensive suit and on the way back from france a woman that was a solid 10 just flat out told me i was sexy before going to her own seat, i know its not much but i will carry that compliment for the rest of my life.
