I normally fly Delta comfort. Or fancy-pants coach as I call it. It might add $100-200 per flight.

Occasionally, very occasionally, I will find a first class domestic for around the same price. And always at shitty times that most people will not fly.

That said, I only fly 2-3 times a year.

On the occasions I fly International it is coach or coach comfort.

I refuse to fly value airlines. They treat their employees like shit and I know 2 people who work in airports. They will never fly value airlines.

But I understand that the definition of rich is elastic and to some I may well be. But we are lower upper middle class by any definition. However, we are in our 50s, childless and good savers. 20 year ago my flight options were way different. Basically, I could not afford to fly.

Regardless, I can’t see any trump flying less than first.

Have a nice evening.
