Date: March 12th, 2018 6:30 PM Author: poppy confused potus I would not pay for biz if I was that rich.
Of course, if I was that rich, I'd probably travel so much that I'd rack up miles and status. |
|
Date: March 12th, 2018 6:32 PM Author: know-it-all school organic girlfriend you're (probably) working hard to make that much money and arent able to travel all the time
so if you take 1-2 nice vacations a year, i dont see the upside of pushing and shoving with the proles in economy so you can retire a month earlier when you're old and trembling and cant enjoy it as much as in your 30s/40s
that said i dont actually pay for biz cause i cant afford it, but if i were 800k i probably would |

it's like 3k |

Date: March 12th, 2018 6:45 PM Author: vivacious brass field keepsake machete you're making up numbers, and i'm using your numbers. you said 5k in your op. i dont know how many people or how many trips we're talking about.
either way, 800k/yr income = 400-500 post tax. we're in the ballpark of of ~1% of net income |
|
Date: March 12th, 2018 6:46 PM Author: know-it-all school organic girlfriend my point though is that at 800k you can essentially have your cake and eat it (fly biz and still retire in a reasonable time frame)
so your position is that your enjoyment of life in your 60s is > enjoyment of a flight in your 30s? |
|
Date: March 12th, 2018 6:51 PM Author: vivacious brass field keepsake machete you're so stupid. if you make 800k gross, you could easily spend an extra 5k at lots of points in the year including flying biz and on many other things. obviously someone might not care enough to spend the extra 5k on flying biz.

I don't mean a $1200 per night room. But if you are going to Maui for a week and pay $450 per night rather than $200, you are going to get a much nicer hotel experience for the entire week.
Versus a few extra thousand dollars for free shitty food/booze and a comfortable seat for 5 hours each way. |

Realistically for 2 intl trips for 2 people, closer to $15-20k depending on where you’re going no?
I wouldn’t do it cuz why pay when you can do it all on points. And if you have $800k HHI, you can generate the spend necessary for the points. I haven’t travelled in Y for intl flights since I started playing the points game.

Date: March 12th, 2018 6:57 PM Author: overrated citrine travel guidebook parlour On flights over 5 hours I’m flying business class—have been doing this for 5+ years now. Business to Europe is about 3 to 3.2k ($800+- on coach). On 8-9 hr flights, the lie flat seats make a huge difference in comfort. If you’re flying farther (Asia) business class is in the 4K range. When you’re on 14 hour flight to Japan with another 5 hours to get to KL or HK, it is well worth the money. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3916495&forum_id=2#35590298) |

Date: March 12th, 2018 7:03 PM Author: violent temple So assuming the EXTRA cost of business class is:
$1200-1500 - cross country domestic - for bigger non flat seats
$2,200-2500 - to western europe - for lie flat seats?
$3,500-4,000 - to Asia - nice lie flat seats
Is there a general income level for which this makes sense? I feel like being rested is more of a function of flight time and eating weed brownies on the flight. But I have never had a lie flat seat so who knows. |

Date: March 12th, 2018 7:16 PM Author: overrated citrine travel guidebook parlour I’ve been pulling in 350-385k/ yr steady for the past 6 years. Net worth over 1 mil. You definitely need to have a good cushion to do this. If you’re still paying off loans and not maxing out your 401k suck it up in coach. I probably spent an extra 10-11k a year on business class flights for me and my wife; if I had an extra 10k a year I wouldn’t need it—I’d just dump it into index funds. That’s the threshold when I decided to start flying business |

$5K/yr starting at 35 is over $1.1 mil when you hit retirement age with a 10% annual return. Even discounting for inflation, that's a shit ton of cash for you and your family. |
