>girl is tricked out in luxury goods like LV bags
>stands up for economy waiting line

Is there a bigger source of cringe?

They’re replicas. Also anything made by LVMH isn’t luxury.

>>2779535 (OP)
Walking "luxury" goods advertisement is the most simple npc detector in existence. Dont treat them as human

Those people going into priority lane only to be turned away because they have an economy ticket.

Are you retarded? A nice designer bag costs like $500 which is a business class flight from Chicago to NYC. Some of us don't care who we fly next to. I think it's fun to fly next to retards.

>>2779606
Retarded. Nice ones cost $1000 or more. $500 are the cheap fake ones.

wtf is the “economy waiting line”?

>>2779640
Probably the economy line at the boarding gate.

>>2779641
ok that makes sense, I guess. I dont fly commercial.

>>2779637
My Tumi bag costs $350. I love it

>>2779642
What do you fly then, Mr. Moneybags? Private or charter?

>>2779606
A nice designer bag is something like a Birkin which you aren't getting for $500 bud.

>guy is wearing a cheap shirt and sweatpants from Walmart
>flying business class
Is it possible to be any more based?

>>2779795
literally me. 7$ shirt from Target, pair of joggers I bought at a flea market in Turkey in 2016 that probably cost 5 USD, Nike socks and slides and a $14,000 rollie on the wrist

>>2779867
Well, you're almost there. Replace the watch with a $20 Casio and you'd be perfect.

why pay more for flying? multimillionaires regularly fly economy

>>2779885
Poor's are literally too dumb to compute anything outside what Hollywood tells them "THIS IS WHAT RICH DO". It's like when people are surprised to run into a millionaire or someone making bank working abroad in a hostel.

As long as I have a window seat I am happy since I can rest my head against the hull.
As long as I have a private room in a hostel I am fine since I can book a love hotel around the corner when needed.

The main reason I am still rich is because I'm not blowing a grand here and there on something that only affects me slightly. Needs vs. wants etc etc.

Most business class seats are booked by, surprise, surprise, companies, then points. Few people actually pay those prices.

So, what's wrong with flying economy exactly?

>>2779885
>why pay more for flying?
because time is limited
and I don't want to waste a day just recovering from my flight

just try a (long) business class flight once and you will know why it's worth it

>multimillionaires regularly fly economy
multimillionaire =/= multimillionaire

if your assets are illiquid (like real estate or unlisted shares) and you have a "low income"
you'll live very differently from someone with 1mil HHI and liquid assets
even if you technically have the same net worth

>>2779956
Who needs a day to recover? LMAO. If I'm feeling tired and want to take a nap at 3 PM, or noon, or 6 PM, I take a fucking nap, then wake up whenever I wake up and hit the streets. Stay awake til I get tired, then go the fuck back to sleep. Who cares if it's 10 PM or 3 AM? Some of you wagecucks can't let go of your work schedule mindset even when massa grants you a two-week freedom pass.

>>2779952
Nothing is inherently wrong with it but it's a much worse experience than business class. Faster bag drop, security, lounge, boarding, lay flat, food etc etc. Same as driving a beat up old car vs a new one. They'll both get you there but the experience will be better in the new car.

>>2779963
>Who needs a day to recover?
lots of people; I do, when I only get 3h of shitty sleep in economy
you'd be an exception

>Who cares if it's 10 PM or 3 AM
yeah... if this fits your style of travel
it doesn't for me
>fine dining reservation are typical fix at 6-9pm
>galleries / museums / sightseeing are typically open ~9am until ~6pm (+-)
>safaris / animals are highly dependent on sunlight
>wife wants to go shopping which also has opening hours

yeah I only got 6-8weeks vacation / year and I'd rather use them efficiently
not like in university where a week more or less during travels doesn't matter because attendance wasn't required

>>2779972
You do realize you are talking to "humans" who are so incompetent they'll justify their 60k pittance by claiming to be more intelligent than the "normies" and "owning the jews"
These retards just have infinite sour grapes it's kind of pathetic

I flew business class the other day. international flight on an a330, so it had a flat lie down bed.

stay poor retards

>>2779952
Mostly the other people. Fatties taking up their seat and half of yours, crying babies, idiots dancing in the aisle, kids kicking your seat, jeets who don't know how to shower, people spilling food on you.

Can't sleep flying coach. And 12 hours in a flight is really exhausting. Business is much better. Sleep most of the flight, get to my destination, fast track at immigration, shower and I'm good to go. Would like to try emirates first at least once in my lifetime. Guess could do stuff right after getting out of the plane.

>>2779535 (OP)
You're just jealous that asians know how to minmax their money buying products that elevate their social status while still attempting to haggle and avoiding expensive baubles like 1st class domestic air travel on a 2.5 hour flight.

>>2779535 (OP)
I make a lot of money and I always fly economy and sit as far back in the plane as I can because sitting in the back gives you the highest probability of surviving any sort of incident.

>>2779606
>business class flight from Chicago to NYC
Business class doesn't exist on short haul domestic routes. It doesn't exist even on long haul domestic routes to Hawaii. Coach faggot

Thirdie men decked out in designer brands are cringe in general. Painfully new money. People with class don't rely on brand recognition to look suave. Its like someone putting a Ferrari badge on your Toyota.

>not owning a private jet
Fucking brokies in this board lmao

I fly economy because I prioritize value in flying over comfort. Humans were never meant to be able to travel at 50,000mph across the earth like this. Jet lag is the cost you pay. I have some tricks to combat flight. Like chugging red bulls. flying economy is part of the experience. Theres only so many seats in "business". we cant all fly business. The way you fly in economy makes sense in the heads of the engineers who control commercial flight. People that demand Business class sound like a bunch of bitches and retards.

>>2780288
Wrong. Lie-flat exists on almost all wide bodies trans-con (east/west coast) and all Hawaii flights when a wide body is used, both sold as domestic first class

/t.lie-flat fan who only flys lie-flat and lives in Hawaii

>>2779885
I'm a germaphobe and have misophonia and agoraphobia. I don't like waiting. It's hard to breathe on planes, it smells, and I also hate people. I will not travel if I cannot go privately, it was help the few times I did it, never again.

>1mil HHI
if you are flying business class everywhere on 1 million hhi you are fucking retarded

>>2779885
>multimillionaires regularly fly economy
I am comfortable with money but not rich. I still wouldn't fly economy long distance, life is just not worth the fucking stress of lining up everywhere and spending 12 hours in those conditions.

Economy is fine for short distances if you can still get the perks like lounge/priority luggage through status.

>>2779885
>multimillionaires regularly fly economy
occasionally, maybe, but generally, no
i used to work for a reasonably large tech company and there was one director who would occasionally travel to another country and would be very vocal in pointing out when he was going in economy class (i think he even posted it on linkedin a couple of times)
he did this to (a) show everyone what a budget conscious team player he was and (b) to try to shame and discourage the rest of us who were also frequent travellers from taking advantage of the company's travel policy which stated that long haul travellers could travel in business class (with some limitations)
of course on every other occasion he was also travelling in business or first class and i suspect that even on the trips where he claimed to be going in economy he was probably upgrading with points or something.
as for me i will take business class on long haul every time if i can, even if i am paying myself
>>2779869
if you think business class is just about "cutting the line" you have obviously never travelled frequently on long haul business. it is about the whole experience, from the limo pickup from your home to having your luggage dropped at your hotel at your destination. the time on the plane is only part of it but i guess it is the main part that the people behind the magic curtain see.

Honestly, why spend more for a simple flight. Wow you get to be more comfy for 3 hours. Money wasted

>>2781119
>it is about the whole experience, from the limo pickup from your home to having your luggage dropped at your hotel at your destinatio
very few airlines do the things you mentioned. do you exclusively fly emirates or something?

>>2781123
>>2779885
>why spend money to improve the quality of your life
It's really a mystery.

>>2781124
>do you exclusively fly emirates or something?
no, but i do use them reasonably regularly. i'm from the uk and i regularly travel to apac so they are a pretty convenient airline to use.
you are correct that not every airline offers every service by default but most will offer some kind of extended service to premium travellers. even on the most basic business class flight there is still more to the experience than just the time on the plane.

>>2781125
I spend money on things that matter and last.
Clothes, furniture, mattress, food. Ill throw money at those
Suffering just a tiny bit less for a few hours? Nah

>>2781127
it sounds like this is an either/or situation for you
in which case yes you have probably made the right decision. clothes and furniture are indeed necessary for a reasonable life. as long as you are making the decision to buy good quality items that you will actually use (rather than just being one of the sad sacks who sells their branded rags at pawn shops for a fraction of their original cost like i see on youtube)
not everyone is in the same situation. some people can afford to both clothe themselves and travel in premium classes

>>2781128
Every business class discussion always comes down to this. Poorfags are simply unable to understand the idea that for people who can afford to fly long haul business, paying that extra money is not taking away from anything else. I will fly my business/first, and it does not mean I have to reduce my budget for hotels, or necessities.

>>2781150

I've won luxury hiking and travel goods through work raffles and vendor events. Doesn't mean i'm going to start pretending to be rich though and blow all my money on business class.

>>2781150
No one has infinite money and its necessarily taking away from something else you could be buying. It only really doesn't matter at extremely high income levels. You would have to be making 5+ million dollars a year to really never think about the cost of business class. On some flights its 800 dollars round trip economy and 14k business class. Even at 5 million a year 14k on a flight is a lot. Also you have a higher probability of dying in the front of the plane.

>>2779535 (OP)
There is nothing that screams "poorfag with delusions of grandeur" more than being dressed head to toe in LVMH advertisements. This is all affordable "luxury" crap that is the domain of the upper caste of laborers who save up for the status symbol, not the actual rich.

i was gonna go to tokyo end of may the round trip ticket was 800 and the business class tickets were 13-14k that happens all the time. If its 3k vs 1k its not a huge deal but yeah if its 10 times more its stupid.

>The difference in odds is negligible
No it isn't you don't combine probabilities. Everyone has their own tolerance for risk and their own way of looking at things. You also may think its stupid to have spare potable water in your house in case of a disaster.

Rear seats: ~60–70% survival in serious crashes (based on historical data).

>i was gonna go to tokyo end of may the round trip ticket was 800 and the business class tickets were 13-14k that happens all the time.
if only you were smart enough to use a currency symbol
but as a quick experiment i did a search for flights from london to tokyo at the beginning of july and returning at the end of the month. i filtered out nasty chinese airlines and a few others, and i wasn't bothered if it was heathrow or gatwick at my end, or narita or haneda at the other end
i found tickets on cathay pacific for about £900 in economy and on lufthansa for about £2800 in business class. of course these are both indirect- CX changing in hong kong, LH in frankfurt- but i can live with that.
conclusion : you are talking out of your butt
also now i'm thinking of spending july in tokyo

Business/First is quite expensive, if youre fine throwing your money away, thats cool, good for you, but if youre not an idiot, and you arent just larping as a rich person, you should be getting upgrades for free through loyalty accounts (the best way), or purchase seats using credit card points, which you of course do various tricks with to stretch the miles as far as possible by taking advantage of transfer bonuses etc.

Blowing thousands of dollars just to sit in a tiny lie flat chair bed and eat what is a glorified Hungry Man meal with a fork and knife is not a wise money move. Rich people have a tendency to save money wherever possible. Sure, they will splurge on a nice watch or car when they feel like it, but overall they are always trying to hoard their money. Utilizing AMEX miles wisely is one of the best ways of doing this. Shelling out thousands of dollars for next to no reason is not.

It costs 70,000-120000 miles to fly JAL first class one way, one of the best in the sky. Massive seat, 43” screen, Michelin star food, 1000 dollar a bottle champagne etc. Thats basically a credit card promotion. How much does that ticket cost one way? 10-20,000 dollars.

If you spend that much, even if you drink 2 bottles of pricey champagne, it still isnt worth it. Using miles? Now thats more than worth it. In fact, its probably the best possible use of your miles, pound for pound.

>>2788751
you're going in the complete wrong direction with your argument

i spend money for comfort
the more uncomfortable the more i am willing to spend, the duration doesn't matter much
if it's okayish i might be less inclinde to spend
but economy is incredible uncomfortable (as a really tall person), so i'm willing to spend a lot to make that go away
that psychology will be more or less the same for most people that fly business

>costs 70,000-120000 miles to fly JAL first class
>Thats basically a credit card promotion
what? not in my country
if i'm clever, with my current CC and bonus points that amount of points is ~20k spend
and I fly like 6-10x rt / year
so i'd need up to 2,4mio miles
yeah... i think i need to pay cash for most flights

>>2785146
man, how poor people argue over biz or not is sad.
economy, business, it doesn't matter, you get there.
+4 years working for an airline in tech, I just show up last minute at the gate, give chocolates to the gate agent, introduce myself to the cabin crew and i take any seat, I've done polaris biz, iad-hnd, innagural in economy ua sfo-mnl, HA biz sea-nrt, and more.

it doesn't matter, you fly, you get off the plane, etc. oh ya, and of course if I'm lying with my company, its free, if id90/myidtravel, i had to pay $50 for economy or $100 for business.

tl;dr who the fuck cares, a seat is a seat, playing these games is how the airline wins.

>>2788801
meh, my best was 10x trips seattle>jp in a month, cc points are another scam too.

if you want to really fuck around and pretend you can fly standby, the frontier gowild pass is the best deal out there, if you want to fuck with credit cards and miles, get the barclay card, get your free 2 bags (up to 40lb normie) and then book last min flights from the main ports ORD/LAX/SEA/SFO, etc

>>2788830
ah I think the problem is that i'm from Europe
the best one I can get here is miles&more + payback in terms of points
yields on avg for me 1€ ~ 5 miles
but the more I spend typically the less points, as big purchase don't have multiples
so even in good years I maybe get half a million points / miles
had an amex plat for a while, but didn't help much

europe means also no gowild pass (isn't frontier ultra low budget anyway?)
standby is dead for 20y+ (unless you're an employee) and so is last minute booking

>>2788978

>>2789020
>How? The normal m&m credit cards are around 1e-1m.
with payback
you can convert 4point -> 5miles (limited time)
up to 300k points (but changes)

then you need the payback coupons
7x Aral, 15x Alnatura, 15x Edeka etc.
just the car fuel alone can be like 40k miles / year for me and gf
obviously coupons are not on everything
but you still get miles with the credit card anyway and regular payback, so double

add the couple business class flights every year paid cash and you get to half a million

Bullshit you can book JAL first class from
North America to Japan for 20k points, that would mean your currency is 3x stronger than the dollar and I know it isnt.

If youre saying 20k spending on a card is the equivalent of 70k points then that actually makes sense, if you spend 20k in a category where you earn 4 points/dollar (like Amex gold at restaurants, etc)

>>2789515
>If youre saying 20k spending on a card is the equivalent of 70k points
this is exactly what i meant
only that amex is pretty shit in Germany and I gotta do it through payback
and 20k€ spend is more like ~100k miles

also never flew JAL
always out of Frankfurt with Lufthansa (gotta collect for that Lifetime Senator status)
or Star Alliance, which has ANA

I got a free upgrade to business class for a trip to Asia so I get it, it’s nice, but no way am I dropping $8k for a round trip flight on business class. Such a retarded waste of money. You can get 4 Gucci bags for that price, which should tell you how retarded of a waste of money that is.
