PART 2: ru-vid.comFi_oW4TMSUk Sorry that it got cut off at the end, Shorts has a 60s time limit! I just uploaded part 2, the last part of the clip where this cut off talking about top-tier first class 🎉
@@andrewwhite9302 then you’re not as cultured as you think you are. i certainly have heard of premium economy…maybe you’re not from the united states? also, i’ve flown over 30 times too…
The worst part of it is that there are many seat designs that would allow economy passengers to lie flat or recline considerably, but then few people would pay extra for business or first class. It's a deliberate choice to keep economy uncomfortable to provide an incentive to pay more to avoid it. It wouldn't even cost that much more to make the change and would squeeze in the same amount of people.
@@josiahhatch7027 yes they're a real risk in flights >4hrs. You're right, you should get up and walk up and down a bit, shake your legs etc (not just if you have a condition or something increasing your risk of clots but in general)
@@josiahhatch7027 Try to sleep with your legs raised if you can. A brisk walk or run after you land can help too. Of course this is a problem because of the lower pressure high above sea level.
You’re telling me she flew around the earth more than 40 times

That‘s possible and you get to these numbers pretty quickly without noticing. A typical NY-LHR flight is already 5500km one-way, if you do this every month, you will already have 130000km in a year. And there are other common routes which are much longer.
It's not that difficult and you will be suprised how many people flew more than that. With my first company i flew half way around the world every week (we luckily only flew first class) but never ever choose American or European airlines to fly with as there service sucks big time
@@portablejea7014 sometimes even every 3 days. Not transatlantic, but maybe from Frankfurt to London. Not everyone who flies does it for vacations or visiting family members. And also, flights are a lot cheaper in Europe than they are in the US. Countries are also smaller, for example flying from Germany to Italy is like flying from pretty much like flying from Phoenix to Fort Worth, just that culturally these countries are much more different.
Lufthansa has a true first class. All these American first class seats are just like premium economy. It is a huge scam. But a Lufthansa and Air France are two great example of a proper first class flight. Air France only has four first class seats in the whole plane.
There's also premium economy. On my flight back from Japan I did premium economy because reg economy was so horrible on the way out. The aisles are only 2 seats deep instead of 3, and your seat reclines more, though not all the way. Meal service is better, but you do have to use the regular economy toilets.
I did business class in British Airlines and it was very private. I was able to recline all the way back, had a sliding door that blocked me off from the walkway and a door between the person on the other side.Great experience
Just because a person don't get a first class ticket does mean they are poor maybe they have the money n choose economy cause it's ridiculous what they charge for a ticket road tripping is better IMO
@@gigiamharic468 they might just want to save 25k. It’s kinda a waste as if you wanted a comfortable seat, business will do fine for cheaper. Or maybe they just wanted to save some money for later or just in case. Rich people still save money, it still doesn’t grow on trees, even for (most) rich people.
@@gigiamharic468 you are aware that rich person are cheap right? Why would you spend $25k on a plane ticket? That seems like a waste of money that could be spent on something else
It’s a plane flight, I know even if I were making good money that I wouldn’t purchase a first class ticket every time. It’s honestly a waste of money unless your someone who needs extra leg room + comfort.
Economy = no videos, no post Business = post pictures on the chair & videos mentioning destination and reason. “ on my way to Dubai for a whatever meeting” 1st class = post videos & pictures holding any glass staring trough the window and commenting on how wonderful and amazing life is.
I only fly American, Delta or KLM and I always fly where the seat lays down 180 degrees and where you sit on your own; don’t care whether it’s called business or first class.
Yep. First Class was gone from Air Canada long ago. Westjet never had it in the "first" place.

It‘s pretty typical. Condor has a similar configuration, although they have some better front seats in their new 339 from what I‘ve heard (their business is on the level of any good flag carrier business).
So translated into normal people. First class: overpriced as shit, the champagne , three course meal and shower don’t make your flight go any faster. Business is great, gets you lounge access, priority security and better seats, also often forgotten: enough place to store overhead luggage. Economy is perfectly fine aswell, however I recommend booking the seats next to the emergency exit. At most airlines this will cost between 30/80€ and will double leg room.
Honestly, I don’t even need all that fancy crap on my 9-10 hour flight. I will 100% bring my own food (couple scones from the local bakery or a couple grilled cheeses) since I hate airplane food. And then, I just need to not feel trapped in my seat or like I’m not able to move on my flight (which, we all know, is not possible in economy so I just distract myself to keep the edge off). I also don’t lean my seat back since I’m already pretty short and I want give the person behind me a good experience on a flight at least once, (plus, after years of flying I can’t physically do it, no matter how hard I try). And I also try to stay awake on flights because sleeping becomes complicated, but sleep does get me sometimes whether I like it or not.
My definition is on first you are a guest. In business you are passengers. In economy they treat you like herd of cattle and in budget airlines like bulk items. Or from the traveller perspective, on 12 hour flight. In first "Why is the pilot in such a hurry i can easily sleep a ohter 2...3h" In business:"It was nice but I is OK we are there now" In economy after 6h:" We it takes so long LET ME OUT OFF HERE!!"
I remember when there were just two classes, first class and coach. Coach was nice-the seats were wide, but not 'Murican wide, and they fed you semi-gourmet food like lobster thermidor. It was a low tech time, but they did show a movie that you could rent headphones for. First class had better seats, more food, and almost no children, though my mom and I did get bumped up one time when I was still a pre-teen. Oh, and both classes had free check-ins for your luggage. Deregulation has a lot to answer for.
I know the differences. My wife and I go on tour when The Rolling Stones go on tour. We are very hard core fans, and so we usually go economy plus if we fly to Europe because I have to have leg room. If we follow the tour in the US we usually book all our flights with Southwest. We have discovered a way for my wife and I to get the middle seat of 3 seats for free. That’s right; for FREE. Thus we can put all our junk and food in the empty seat and I can turn slightly and stretch out my legs. Most of the flights are full and as passengers board they see our empty middle seat and want to sit there. But we have posted the boarding pass for that seat on the chair back and tell them it’s taken. The flight attendants will sometimes come over and confirm it to the enquiring passenger, and so it’s easily taken care of. After the flight we get our money (or miles) back immediately. Over 24 flights we save a ton of money and have good comfort at a lot less than first class on another airline. That saved money helps us with our hotel and ticket costs for the Stones tour. We usually stay at the same hotel as the band and we often bump into members of the band and their support staff. And kids of the band as well, who we have watched grow up. These kids know us now and I often get photos with them and a good visit. So traveling by air cheaper really pays off. Southwest wins because we will travel with them exclusively in the US. We win because we save so much money on the free middle seat. When flying you really have to watch the details. My wife keeps logging in and reviewing our flight tickets because she often sees the cost of our tickets has gone down. She immediately rebooks the same flight with the new lower cost. The airline deals with that all the time and are easily cooperative. Of course I would love to fly 1st class everywhere, but we literally save thousands the way we book. It is so valuable to us when we bump into Mick Jagger or Keith Richards and they have their families with them. We are tight with their security guys because we have known them a long time. So you can pick the best deal possible when flying, you just need to know all the best strategies.
It still grinds my gears that US business doesn't give you lounge access. Although European business with economy seats seems even worse lol

It is worse. I was on Eurowings Business once and you literally got a cheap sandwich, coke and the middle seats were not even blocked. The legroom and seats themselves were better however.
I've flown first class a few times. It's just not worth it to me. Especially for domestic flights I'll never do that again. My last first class ticket was free and I felt scammed especially when I had to sit in that first row behind the bulkhead
I went in Lie-flat business class twice for a Christmas Present and It was amazing! We only were in about 5 hours each flight but still very enjoyable.
My understanding is economy is the premier class on several airlines, whereas business is the 'basic' entry level, and first is what we would call 'second' class. This does of course vary from airline to airline, but is basically true for most of us.
I went on an American Airlines flight out of the us to Europe and I got the business class where you lay fully down but I didn’t know the difference from that and first class until now thank you!
I feel like even if I were rich af, I would pick the economy. Why pay more for a seat when you can spend it in food or activities in the destination or even a whole other plane ticket? Maybe because I’m poor 🤣
Flights to the same destination can have different airplanes. So sometimes when I fly to London business class is just a slightly wider seat and better food, but sometimes it's a massage chair that goes completely flat
Lie-flat business class is my go-to luxury when flying. Speaking from years of flying coach, back then, especially internationally to Asia and back. Let’s just say I don’t miss that. 😆❤️❤️👌💯
We don’t have business and lye flat business So it’s more straightforward for us/me, we have economy and premium economy but you either get business ( club world) which has😂a lye flat bed and first class depending on how far you are flying. I’ve never heard of business and lye flat business ever and I fly alot mostly to the Caribbean plus I have family in the States. But I did like your video as you always learn something knew, which is why I enjoy watching an will definitely subscribe ✈️
Main difference, business and 1st is for people who cant afford charter jets but can afford to live lavishly enough..... economy is who they classify as 'the help'
I’ve flown all of those as my mum works for an airline and I travel fairly regularly economy is well general snack, drink and on my mums airline free alcohol, if you flying at 7,12 or 6 they will provide a prepackaged okay meal. Business class is a bigger seat, has a footrest, seat is more comfortable, give a proper meal and as many drinks alcohol free and alcoholic. They generally include treats as well. First class includes a fully reclining chair with sheets, pillows and blankets to make it like a double bed, if flying internationally their will be a tv, but on my mums airline certain economy seats have tvs to so that depends on which plane your on, you get alcohol just as any other seat, and it also includes generally complimentary products. To be completely honest I only pay $45 for any of these seats seeing I get free upgrades with being on my mothers staff travel but I would say on this airline business and first class are almost the same I know some Japanese airlines have full on rooms but not my mums airline but all seats you can get alcohol also all snacks and meals are free in every class it comes with your tickets and on staff travel if seats are available you get a free upgrade but also if it’s a full flight you GTE bumped onto the next flight because you aren’t paying as much generally they can fit you on and I’ve only been bumped off once in a few years.
on smaller domestic flights the business class is called first class and is a little upgrade, we flew around the world only business class and different aairlines because that was what was left and we got many different business class seats
I have been on KLM and Delta Business world class and it was near flat beds. This was 10 years ago. The normal seat Business were just short flight smaller planes.
u have a better chance of being struck by a lightning 1000 time in 1 second and survive, then win the lottery 100 times in a year, then being in a plane crash so don't worry
Also let's not forget that 'first class' on domestic routes is basically garbage (at best it might equate to a Premium Economy experience). And finally, some airlines (like AA for example) are actually getting rid of their First Class product on international routes due to 1) low sales and 2) the existing high quality that you can get in Business. They even admitted that today's Business Class is essentially what First Class was 5-10 years ago.
I was confused why I did go on a business class once and it just looked like economy with better seats and food while people who said they upgraded to business got those little blockages and literally full luxury
I have flew 30 hours in Qatar airways business and it is one of the best flights of my life, free unlimited drinks and food lie flat bed and a huge in flight entertainment system it was awesome
Год назад
Free unlimited drinks (except alcohol) are standard on long-haul even in economy.
Im extra confused now because in my experience business class is actually what you describe as american first class with the 2 chairs per row configuration, but I've never seen the lie flat option irl, only on tiktok and youtube, business was always the "highest" option
My girl & I got business class, we had our own booth. We did get on the mile high club there & in the bathroom, the flight attendant knew what we were doing, she even joined in💀
It confuses me more because for me its Economy Delta comfort (depends on airline) First class And i never knew what business class was and i seen people do like $30,000 first class so i guess that would be business class but probably 3x the cost so thanks for helping my confused ass And heres the definitions Economy:regular, cheap, not special Delta comfort:a little better and some will pay others wont and it all depends on you definition of "luxury" First class:Expensive af and im going on my first first class flight on Saturday, it is currently 10:25 PM on a friday so i shouldnt say nothin but i will Bigger seats, WAY better food and this is just my definition of first class, its different for every air line. And thank you for the definitions❤❤❤❤
The whole reason why they call it first class is cause first class domestically is JUST business. The terms are interchangeable for DOMESTIC FLIGHTS. Sincerely, an actual travel agent.
Your comment is literally unintelligible 😅 Was I supposed to put any value in your statement (that does not read in any way that makes sense) thanks to your job you don’t even need any education or certification to perform? Sincerely, an actual travel expert frequently quoted in the New York Times, Washington Post, Travel and Leisure, Condé Nast Traveler, etc 😘
@@LAXtoLuxury whatever you say. You fly domestically (just from state to state) business and first class are the exact same. The class codes don’t change. It’s EXTREMELY RARE to ever see a F or A class code on a flight that is Domestic. The class codes you usually get when flying domestically are: J, C, D, R, I - buisness W, P - Premium economy Y, H, K, M, L, G, V, N, Q, O, E - Economy B - Basic F and A usually only show up during international flights, if you paid attention to Sabre you’d of known that…. But you don’t do you? Do you know what Sabre is? Your videos are literally unintelligible. I was replying to your “when social media influencers say their flying first class they’re not.” I was explaining why they do cause more often than not they’re flying domestically.
