[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who only fly business must not travel very much or they enjoy lighting money on fire. Tickets to biz class to Europe are 8-12k which is sometimes 11200 per ticket more than flying in economy. Maybe a spouse flies so much you have a ton of points, but if you’re spending full freight 11200 more per person for a 7 hour flight you need to get an examination. I, too, have paid out of pocket for business class tickets but would never be so frivolous. How many of you business class only passengers delight in bragging about driving a 15 year old Camry because the millionaire next door book is your bible?[/quote] Absolutely no one paying cash for business class seats subscribed to the Millionaire Next Door. It goes against everything the book stands for. Points and miles hacking would fit in though. However we are big on points and miles and still fly mostly economy just because anything under 6-7 hours I don’t find BC worth unless it’s an overnight. That leaves us more points for even more trips. The extra points I would spend on 4 BC tickets would pay for 8 nights in a high end hotel. [/quote] We are close. We did not specifically subscribe to the millionaire next door, but we certainly do many of the things talked about in the book. Now we are 60 and have seemingly over saved and as a result we are loosening the purse strings. So, when we flew to Norway last year we bought one full price Polaris and one on points- the one ticket was $4k. This year we took both our kids to Iceland and bought Saga for all of us. It really made a difference for us. Our older son is 6’3” and has quite a bit a trouble in economy seats and that was a factor. Now, we will not pay the exorbitant Polaris this year; however, I bought Economy Premium for my upcoming trip to Europe. [/quote]
