Flying first class

[Stryker Ryker 176]

Is there really a point anymore? Sure you get a little alcohol & slightly bigger seats but that’s about it. At least for domestic flights. Haven’t flew first class on international so I assume that is much better. However, if you’re flying domestic I don’t see the point of paying an extra $400-$500/ticket just for that 

[stick 2]

It's the only decent option for us fat guys. But way overpriced and hyped.

[thegeneral 1,414]

The one less seat def makes a lot of difference.

Love the upgrade out of the blue, but if I get reclining exit row with no one in the middle seat I’m almost as happy.

The leg room is really nice, but getting on and off the plane first is what I like. I absolutely hate sitting in the back and watching every moron on the planet try to unwedge their oversized suitcase from the overhead, get their asses organized and get off the plane.

I usually just wait until they’re almost done boarding & then board. With my son it’s much easier to do that than sit in the seat. It’s def better with a baby to have first class but just me? I don’t see the point anymore. They’ve taken too much out of first class to where I don’t feel like paying that extra $500 just for a little extra leg room on an hour 1/2 flight. You’d think you’d get free wifi in first class but no. Gotta pay $10 or $60/month. Just doesn’t seem worth the money anymore

Typical lib.  Gets a seat where the person in front of him can't recline and then jams his seat into the person behind him.

So you didn't just say that you think a reclining exit row seat is almost as good as first class to you?

Do you want the reining exit row seat to not recline.  

Typical lib... First instinct is to lie.

I’m sorry you are struggling here. 

The planes are built with safety standards. These rows have more leg room and when no one is in the middle seat it’s great. 

The great debate of reclining or not I’ll leave that to the non frequent flyers to get all upset about. 

Here’s the thing - flying sucks. Get over it

I did it once. Of course there were two screaming kids right next to me. Asked to go back to coach. Oh well.

No shìt.  The reclining part is what I was getting it at.  And of course you're oblivious... Because lib.  

And I probably fly as much as anyone here.  I bet you're also 5'8" worrying about leg room.  Once again typical lib.

I just realized this dumbfock really thinks people don't know exit rows have more leg room.  Focking libs.

I’m 6’2”.

They can’t recline in front of that row. Why aren’t you getting this?  Who said anything about me reclining. Who the fock cares and why are you talking about Libs in here you dumbass. You sound like a nut.

You should write a letter to the FAA about this.

You are probably the guy ranting on the flight all redfaced about barking dogs or whatever other thing you are aggrieved about that day.

Here’s some advice. Relax.

Libs like to bring you down to their house of confusion.  It’s a classic move.

The first 3 years I started with my current company I flew a lot. I had united platinum and star alliance gold status for a few years.

Getting bumped on anchorage to Houston overnight flight was always nice, but even if I wasn't bumped I got economy plus for free. Which is not as good, but at least it is enough room for a laptop.

Now I fly only southwest airlines with the unwashed masses.

Only time I ever flew first class was getting randomly bumped up on a flight from Newark to Switzerland many years ago. Wouldn’t care if it was a short domestic flight but that was awesome. I’d never pay for it.

Yea if it’s international it’s worth it IMO. But domestic? Noooo. Ofc I still have to pay for it since wife likes the extra room with my son

I get it dummy. You don't understand.  Your liberal mind can't understand that it's dìckish to sit in a seat with extra leg room with a seat that you purposely chose so the guy in front of you can't recline while you are reclining into the guy behind you with less leg room.  

Your liberal mindset can't even wrap your head around the dìckishness of that.

It wouldn't be as annoying if they SLOWLY reclined  back vs the quick snap back into your face that risks spilling whatever might be on your tray. 

Congrats assh0le, you now have an awesome 2 inches of recline.

When I had baller status on Delta getting upgraded to first class was the best. I didn't have to worry about some flat slob sitting next to me taking up my space. As some of you know I hate the way people deplane. Being in first class I can get out that much faster. I could care less about the food and drink although it's a nice perk. It's the comfort and getting off the plane which sells it for me.

It's funny looking at your avatar and reading this.    But this is basically how I feel. 

I'm not that big, only 32" inseam and thin, so I don't need the extra room.  Also I spent most of my traveling days flying Southwest which doesn't have first class, so I didn't get free bumps (but basically free drinks).  I have had them on other airlines occasionally, and my first company out of college paid for business class for international flights (which included first class on the domestic legs).  In addition to the quick departure from the plane, I liked that I was generally surrounded by seasoned travelers who kept to themselves instead of making nervous chat with me to get over their fear of flying.

I was on the same flight home in April as my cousin and her husband. They will only fly first/business class because "he is really tall and needs the leg room".  So they generally do layovers to make it a little more affordable. In actuality he's just a baby about any little thing and was not fun to be on a trip with .  He might be 6'3 to my 6'2. 

I just care about getting to my destination. Give me less expensive economy with a layover if the layover makes sense. As soon as 24 hour check in opens up, I'm on my phone swapping to an aisle seat as close to the front of economy as I can find. On my recent trips there was no lack of beverages / cheap wine

[Hardcore troubadour 12,656]

I gave up a long time ago. I sit in the back and wait it out. Check one big bag.  Being next to the bathroom has its advantages with kids. We haven’t flown together since Covid and I’m not looking forward to it. Seems to be a lot of a-holes out there flying.

With 4 extra inches of leg room comes great responsibility.

[League Champion 1,593]

It's definitely worth it on longer flights but not a a 2 hour hopper. I don't mind paying the extra if going cross country or 4+ more hours.
