I usually don’t fly business or first class, not because I can’t afford it but because I prefer to spend that money on comfortable hotels or nice meals instead.

Spending more on a plane ticket doesn’t guarantee safety either. Statistically, passengers seated in the front are more likely to be at risk in the event of a crash.

I’ve only flown business class once, and that was because my company paid for it.

>I prefer to spend that money on comfortable hotels or nice meals instead
I do both. If you must make a trade-off between the two, it implies your constraint (budget line) is limiting your constrained optimization problem (in the math sense)

>because my company paid for it
The industry trend is the all-economy policy, even applies to management. Many employees have a hell of a time trying to justify premium cabin often times by using reduced hotel nights on work trip as a selling point

This is what they never get. It isn't either or.

The problem with luxury is that it's anti-utilitarian in the first place. Having a "problem" optimizing the value you get out of life without spending money in a non-utilitarian way indicates that you're losing in terms of Soul Points™. A lot of people forget about that part of the game, you'd have to have been hustling from birth to understand.

that literally means you can't afford it

What the fuck is up with so many threads recently of people coping they can't afford business class?

If you can't or don't want to fly it for whatever reason, don't. Why the fuck start a coping circlejerk. Additionally, kill yourself.

The sole survivor of the recent Air India crash was in seat 11A. So even that argument of yours goes out the door.

NTA but surely you can't be this stupid, man

>constrained optimization problem
The term is a math expression describing how consumer choices are made. If you're too retarded (and poor) to understand any of this, just come out and say it

dude there's already one seething poorfag thread. isn't that enough

>The problem with luxury wah wah
what the fuck is wrong with you people

Going to fly with 14h with my 1,5 years old son on my lap in economy because I don't give a damn about others. Saves me over 1000€. Gonna let him run up and down while others being so annoyed. He is going to cry the shit out because of boredom. But I know that I never meet one of the passengers once more in my life so who cares.

>>2799385
crying isn't that bad, you can stop him from kicking the front seat though

>>2799385
Keeping him pacified is your problem, not ours. I don't envy parents who travel with fussy kids one bit. As a five year old I dreamed of traveling the world, no joke. My dad let me use MapPoint on his Compaq desktop, and I became entranced by the vastness of the world and all its different places. Sucks that my parents were both homebodies to the nth degree.
