Dumb people literally pay 10-20k for a free glass of champagne in first class and brags about it

>$10k so you can lie down in a thin bed, like you're in a hostel

Lol you guys don't understand.
First class is an alternative to owning and operating your own airplane. In many ways the experience of first class depending ont he airline is better than anything you can get private outside of basically having a Qatari flying palace.
20k-30k for a round trip ticket is infinitely better priced and value for money than purchasing and operating your own airplane.
First Class is the intelligent choice.

I saw one good argument, and that is that the commercial pilots are better trained and checked than private small plane pilots

apart from that, you get like mid tier food and a hostel bed at a 50x markup

im getting a free glass of champagne in 2nd class every flight with the airline of my country

>>60493769
why not just literally buy a bottle at the tax free shops lol and drink it. like the 375 ml size

>doesn't own a membership in a private jet sharing club
>doesn't even realize jet sharing clubs exist
poor people don't get it.
for just the cost of a small car you could be flying on a private jet once a month

during covid we even got those little bottles of champagne for one glass. for free in second class.

If you have to move many people, whether that's a large family or multiple executives from your company etc, a business jet, Bombardier 7500 or Gulfstream at 80 million + USD purchase price can make sense.
If you want to jump on a fucking learjet with NETJETS lmfao for 250k a year you can have a few hours and that can make sense for you but that is NOT the same thing as getting the experience of first class long haul flights at all, that is small jumps at 40k feet to make fast trips within the USA or Europe or a few hours radius around those airports.
And no, for the cost of a small car you cannot sign up and take fractional ownership of literally any size plane in any fleet in the world. That's not how that works at all.
A Learjet or signature jet is a mid size jet that is fast and affordable to operate (100-200k per year without problems/overhaul), but you are not comfortable and you are severely limited in range.
Commercial aviation is safer. That's objectively true, but remember that there are a lot of different kinds of private owners and not all of them feel like doing hundreds of thousands of dollars of preventative maintenance or hiring teams that are dedicated because they are expensive.

Unless you have a large, international company and you move people around, or you have over 1 billion dollars in assets and you have a 5 person+ family moving with you for AT MINIMUM 300 hours flight time per year, you do not need a bombardier 7500 or Gulstream at 80million.

You need first class.
If you can't afford to buy a 12 million dollar learjet and operate it and use it for the majority of your air travel, that's fine. You can fly short flights commercially which to be honest sucks as an experience.
But if you can't afford to make a super long range jet work in your model and you need to do Los Angeles to Berlin or whatever, you fly first class for a tiny fraction of operating a plane.

I mean look, the real perk of first and business class (internationally, most domestic first class is really really mid with a couple exceptions on some routes) is NOT being in economy while flying. If you want to say flying international first over business is kind of dumb, I'm probably with you. There's like a handful of special first class routes in the world by specific carriers that have a wow-factor that does kind of have some novelty, but these are so rare as to not be a rule. Ethiad's THE RESIDENCE, THE APARTMENT, some Emirates and Singapore Air routes do have neat stuff, which maybe not really worth it is kind of a novelty.

For everyone else the added perks of international first over international business are pretty spotty and inconsistent between carriers at this point given lie-flat beds are nearly the norm for business. And yeah, the added perks over business class are, champagne, caviar, MAYBE your own pajamas, meals on demand (as opposed to being served from a menu at a specified time), a better first class lounge experience with pretty decent food, maybe a slightly bigger TV, maybe a little more enclosure when flying.

There's a reason why loads of planes and routes just don't have international first anymore- with so many international business seats being lie flat and enclosed there's just very little else to give.

correct

Since $10k-20k is what $1k-2k was about 10 years ago it’s no big deal.

Commercial first is less of a pain than maintaining your own jet (especially if you're city based/don't live in a mc mansions country) or dealing with the retarded sharing programs.

It’s not about the champagne. They pay for first class to be away from poor people.

You have no idea how much the wealthy will pay to stay always from poors.

dumb people service others for money and dont spend it

>he doesn't own a private jet
yikes

look retard, if you want to sit alone, be able to lie down, and eat better food, you pay the price, or else you sit in the back with plebs beside a fat pajeet and eat the slop.

>>60493750 (OP)
You mean their company or charity they own wrote off a 10-20k traveling expense.

>250k a year
plans start at $90k/annum

for what a car costs you could be flying a private jet anywhere in the world.

they don't offer this to poor people though. You have to get rich and then they send you offers. Make a few million and watch people try to sell you hours on a jet
