Re: How the rich took over airport security
I have a friend who travels a lot for business, but it's all regional, so her company always sends her on Southwest, therefore she has elite status with Southwest and gets to use the fast lanes. I think there are a lot of people like that.
Oh, and I've started following several airline points blogs, and after making point earning a focus, I've flied business class internationally once, but I have two more business class international flights booked, plus one to Hawaii in business class, and I didn't pay more than the economy fare price. I don't think anyone actually pays for those seats.
Can I say with all the traveling you do, I am MORTIFIED they make you fly economy? I do travel at my office and I would have a natural fit if someone who traveled the distances you do, did so in economy. Nothing would make me happier than you replying telling me I had it wrong.
Yeah they do. I book those seat on the regular. As a leisure Business Class traveler I get good deals because I am able to book 2-3 months in advance and watch out for the sales. However there are plenty of business travelers without that luxury. I have booked a crapload of tickets costing well over 10k without breaking a sweat.
This is my favorite. He has several bloggers that he links to from time to time. He's the one I check regularly.
You have booked those for yourself with your money, or you mean you've done that for yourself or others with company money? To me, there's a huge difference. I don't doubt that there are people in business class who are in seats that we pain for with actual money. I just doubt very much that there are many people who fly in business class in seats booked with their own actual money.
OK I misunderstood when you said no one paid for those seats because they certainly do. However yes for the most part those who pay for a full fare Business Class tickets have a business footing the bill however the same can be said for the most expensive economy tickets as well.
Nope. Economy. All the way. If I'm lucky I do enough flying in a year on a single alliance that I get upgrades to first on domestic flights I take for personal travel. I have never gotten an international upgrade despite having gold or platinum status. My flights are often "humanitarian" fares that aren't upgrade eligible and sometimes don't even allow me to accrue mile
