[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Over the last two years, I’ve been flying business or domestic first for all my trips, whether for work or vacation. I travel about once a month, and I’ve noticed something interesting. I actually look forward to the premium travel experience sometimes more than the destination itself.

I recently took a 20hour flight to Asia, and while I had fun and the sights were great, I was even more excited about the inflight experience. The caviar, fine dining, lie-flat seats, and overall luxury made the trip feel special. We didn’t splurge on expensive hotels, choosing Airbnbs instead, and honestly, I preferred it. I’ve stayed at highend hotels before and didn’t find them worth it, so I’d rather save on accommodations and excursions while splurging on travel. I enjoy the flight experience the most.

Does anyone else feel this way or will it wear off? For me, the journey has become the real highlight of traveling.[/quote]

Also, to add. I’m an introvert and love not having to talk to people or deal with them when I travel. In my job and everyday life as a husband and parent of teens, I have to be a forced extrovert, constantly engaging with others. But when I’m on a long flight, I finally get to just focus on myself.

I love the idea of settling in, trying different foods and drinks, and just enjoying the experience in peace. It’s one of the few times I don’t feel any social obligations, and I think that’s a big part of why I look forward to the upgraded travel experience so much.[/quote]
