This should give people an idea why people in HK are deeply concerned over the widening class inequality.
Itâs actually not the best commercial seat: http://www.etihad.com/en/experience-etihad/flying-reimagined/the-residence/
You can enjoy the experience of a First Class cabin for a fraction of the cost (without all that pesky security, turbulence, or going anywhere) at a branch of First Cabin in Japan.
Porn .
Is that the one that has a shower?
I think itâs rather charming that BoingBoing does these things about airlines, with the implication that first class is a touchstone for income inequity.
By all meansâletâs a post about VIRGIN airlines and their price point for first class. But noâŚBB and itâs top editors have a relationship with Virgin airlines.
BUT, wait. Virgin doesnât even call it âfirst classâ but does a call back to Victorian Era for the privileged and calls itâs âUpper Classâ, like a Tiantic cruise ship.
Iâm surprised they donât use word steerage for the cattle class folks.,
Feh first class, you are not flying unless you are FLYING the aircraft!
you donât come across as charmed.
hmm. 55 dollars a night. And just like first class, there are plenty of distractions to keep one from realizing that one is held captive in a tiny tube. A real bargain.
you might want to check out this article too. heâs able to afford to fly suites class, but he doesnât have enough class to admit that he plagarised the contents of his article.
I read somewhere that Richard Branson wanted to call it âRabbleâ, but was talked out of it.
For $12,000 you can get a flight in a MiG to the edge of space, which I think is probably a better deal.
The best flight experience I ever had was in the cargo section of a C-141. The seats were actually big enough for my 1.93 meter frame, the food was boxed sandwich lunches, and it was loud enough that we were all wearing ear protection, guaranteeing that the other passengers didnât try to talk to me while I was reading my book. (Plus it was only $10 for me to fly from the UK to the East coast of the US.)
Well⌠certainly not in public! Or near a camera, just look at what happened with this guy.
You can get âSuitesâ class seating on shorter flights as well, for a lot less than $18K.
For example, about $2K pp for the 4 hour Hong Kong to Singapore flight. For that discount price I didnât receive the full-size bottle of cologne.
A big discount because the bed is of marginal utility on a short haul flight?
Not sure Iâd be comfortable with that camera up in the corner taking pictures of me as I watched tv, that ended up in the interspace blogs.
I have $18,400, but theyâve never put me in that classâŚ
Oh wait, you have to have it and be willing to part with it. My bad.
