Quote HistoryQuoted: The $550 fee is nothing. You also get a free companion domestic 1st class ticket voucher each year, that alone pays for the $550 fee. Plus I spend lots of time in various lounges around the globe where they have free food and open bar so that is also saving me tons of money cause I do like my G&T's before boarding  |

He was 10 mins late boarding and they were clearly holding the plane for him. They knew. He was going to Disney for a thing with Phil Simms. Dude was definitely the busiest “retired” guy I’ve ever seen. He worked literally the entire flight from DEN to MCO. |

Quoted: Recently flying back from Charlotte was one of the most uncomfortable flights I've been on specifically because of my knees. Is the real benefit to flying first class/business mostly the leg room? My rule is under 2 hours, coach is ok. 2-5 hours coach+. 8+ hours my ass is in business. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: My flight from Tokyo to Denver is over 10 1/2 hours my return flight from Houston to Tokyo is over 13 hours. I would be crippled sitting in a regular seat for that amount of time and I am just 5'10 170 pounds. Business or first class are my only options for flying. I just figure that is the cost for the trip or don't go.  ETA and that is just one leg of my 3 flight journey each way, total one way travel time including layovers is about 30 hours. That’s fucked. My flights SLC/MNL are 25/26 hours with lay overs. |

Meh. I fly 4-6 times a year. I sleep for 90% of the flight so coach doesn't bother me.
Also my mom buys all my tickets because I am her new travel buddy after my dad died. But, she gets upgraded about 95% of the time due to her miles. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Figure out what airline you want to support, get their credit card and make sure to hit their dollar cap and mileage cap. It opens all kinds of perks. I recently booked a trip and they awarded my over 66K air miles for it, something to do with my card and status. That starts adding up fast and really helps with upgrades. This is a screen grab from my mileage account. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/249630/card_jpg-2810911.JPG When my dad needed home health care my mom put it on her AA card. So about $15k a month on her card, that was later reimbursed by insurance. She racked up some stupid points. |

I've only purchased a "1st class" ticket once. The only thing it got me was a seat on another flight after mine was cancelled (first class got replacement flights filled first).
I don't know if it is worth 1st class light for domestic, I really did not get a chance to see the difference - as I did not get my first class seat. International - if you can afford it, sure. 20hrs in a seat with hardly any foam vs 20hrs in a sleeper compartment. |

I am 6'3" tall and weigh 230 so economy doesn't really work. I also have money so it is either Delta Comfort Plus or better. It is worth it for the upcharge to the premium seats for sure.
On my last trip to the Caribbean though I couldn't upgrade my Comfort Plus seats to Business class. It just wasn't an option. I haven't had that happen before so just be aware that can be an issue if you purchase a lower class hoping for a cheaper upgrade. I couldn't make myself rebook for $2,500 more per ticket. Delta was off their rocker with pricing last winter. |

It depends.
Some times it's worth ir if you need to bring a lot of shit. I get 3x 70lb bags with Delta first class. Just the overweight baggage fees would pay for the extra domestic first class costs. Plus if it's a long flight, I can't sleep in the regular seats, I can in the roomier first class ones. |

Yes I was purely speaking about the 2024 Choice Benefits - no Club option for Platinum and only Executive for Diamond at all 3 choices. Do get two gifted Gold Status now tho so I'll make someone else happy. Seems dumb, Delta Reserve (maybe other Delta Cards) still has access DSC/Centurion/Escape, tho I didn't realize only primary card holder and auth users. Had another card providing access tho, but took a bit to sort it out. So sure as shit seems the limitations should be on CC end (as before many Diamonds are there?) that would eliminate a significant perk for many. |

I was always too cheap to pay but I need to spend it on something or someone else will eventually. A lot of trips I am hitting the ground and driving and want to enjoy the day and get adjusted. I fly coach back to the US as I don't sleep and I fit in the seats fine because I'm not a fat ass or freakishly tall.

Quote HistoryQuoted: check what type of flight it is (which aircraft) then check leg room for the emergency exit row. for example, seats 24 D through F on an American Airlines A321 have about five feet of leg room, and are usually only a modest upcharge. I think it was $38 extra last time I flew. No fold down tray table (because no seat in front of you), but not a problem for me. Just be careful with this as the seats are slightly smaller width wise because of the tray table in the armrest, on some airlines. On long hall flights premium economy is nice compromise bigger seat and more leg room. First class tickets can be reasonably priced but even on majors usually u are getting bigger seat and better snacks and refills on drink or free booze. Its nice but not like it used to be |

I'm too tired to wait in the airport, so airport hotel it is for 8 hours Think they'll cover it... NOPE Uggh. Sorry man. Last summer I had a first class ticket from United. Flying out of SLC back to PIT. Connection at O'Hare. Text - Your flight from SLC will be delayed. Coworker freaks out that we're going to get stuck in Chicago as we had the last flight from ORD to PIT. Me - That's not that bad. Him - We're all going to die! See there is another way on United from SLC to Houston then PIT, decided to change to an earlier flight. No issues changing flights, get on board, get to Houston. Check to see if that flight from SLC to ORD was really delayed. It was, but not as bad as they had predicted. Might have made it to PIT. Meanwhile, there is no plane from IAH to PIT so we get dinner and drink a few beers. Another text - Your plane is coming from Mexico and blah, blah, blah. More beer. Finally they have a plane. It's only 3 hours late. We get on board. The flight attending is slinging champagne at first class passengers for the inconvenience. Pilot gets on the PA. "Folks uhhhhhh, we have problem with the APU and ahhhhh, we need a start cart. It'll take ahhhhh a few minutes until they get it over here." Start cart wheeled over. Loud noises. Nothing. "Folks uhhhh, we're still having maintenance issues. We'll uhhhh, give you updates in a bit." A bit later "Folks, we're out of hours so uhhhh, we need to find another flight crew." We then deboard the plane and are told to wait at the gate. Finally they call it. It's at this point 11:30 at night. Go find a hotel, its on us. Wonderful. We did eventually take off the next day at 10:30 am. |

Poor employer/ contract called for business class over 6 hours and 1st over 8. Short hops, economy plus has been okay if the person in front of you isn’t a troll with their seat. Long flights, 7+ 1st is definitely worth it, especially on a 78 or larger Airbus.

Kind of? Depends on the size of the airplane and the length/distance of the flight. If the plane is big enough and you can take advantage of the lay flat seats, probably. I’m too tall for the lay flat seats even, so there isn’t much difference for me between comfort+ and first class. I absolutely must have the extra leg room and space. But I can’t really sleep on airplanes. My wife loves being able to lie flat and go to sleep, but I can’t do that regardless, and I don’t drink, so I think comfort+ is the sweet spot for me. I just flew from Virginia to Hawaii and back on April and did it all first class. I’m doing it again in June and am doing it all comfort+ to test the theory. I’ll try to remember to let you know how it goes
I’ve also decided I prefer stops to one long non-stop flight. Last year I did the direct Dulles-Honolulu first class which is 11.5 hours. I’ve got a bad back that I need to have a final spinal fusion done on, a prosthetic shoulder, a completely reconstructed left leg and foot, and a knee that needs to be replaced, and as I mentioned, I’m too tall to lay flat, so I think I spent more of that flight walking up and down the aisles than I did sitting. This year I flew to LA, stayed over, then went from LA to honolulu and I liked that much better. But the the shorter flights are also smaller planes, so there isn’t as big a difference between first class and comfort+ either, so it matters even less. Most of those flights were 737 Max. Only my return leg from honolulu to Seattle was I on a big enough airplane where first class was lay flats for my wife. So…yeah….comfort+ |

Really curious to experience the Celestial Bar in Prestige Class on Korean Air, hopefully they have a good gin selection @MADMAXXX @Alacrity Anyone flown Eva Air, Taiwan's national airline? They have decent prices and their 1st class setup looks pretty good. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I'm cheap. I'd put the money towards something else. As somebody who invariably winds up in the back by the toilet, I've had enough and will pay what is necessary to get up front. They say that time period between when they open the door and you actually get out is deducted from purgatory. |

I fly domestic, CONUS about once per month and then International about three or four times per year. My employer won’t pay for upgrades but I keep the miles and use them to upgrade along with the various “club” points offers.
For short flights, anything under 4 hours, I don’t really care. For overseas flights, I absolutely upgrade. CAN you can fly to Europe or Asia without United Polaris? Maybe  Frankly, I don’t want to know. |

I always have to fly left side of the plane, aisle seat, so I can extend and pop my right knee every 30 min or so.

It is when your employer is paying.
