[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]

Why do you "need an examination"?  You can get biz to Europe for $5-6K.

Yes, you shouldn't be doing that if it's not in your budget.  But if you are HNW/UHNW why wouldn't you spend on travel to be more comfortable?  It means I arrive well rested---land in Europe at 8/9am, go to hotel and shower and head off for a nearly full day of exploring versus wasting the first day because I'm too tired to do much.

And yes, we drive a 7yo and 11 yo vehicle, because we love them and they are still in good shape.  But we can afford to replace them whenever we need to, and pay cash for a new one.  But we live in a city and rarely drive---mainly to grocery store or dr appts.  Otherwise we walk everywhere or take public transportation.  So why would I need to replace my 7yo car with 45K miles on it?   I prefer to spend my money on travel and dining out[/quote]
