[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I kind of think if you enjoy the first or business class that much, it reflects that you don’t stay at very nice places when you’re traveling. A lay-flat seat is soooo much better than economy but seriously!?! It’s still a plane! [/quote]

Here's the thing- the difference between a $200/night hotel in most places and a $750/night is the nice things, maybe quality of the breakfast, service,etc.  You still generally get a quiet room with a bed to sleep in. The difference between an economy seat and a business class seat on a 777 is like 5x the amount of space, a fully flat space around 23 inches wide and 6 feet to sleep in, no one physically touching you or within arms reach, lounge access (often really nice with an evening departure, eat dinner in the lounge and go straight to sleep on board), etc.  A nice hotel room is still fundamentally the same product type as a middling hotel room.[/quote]

This is ridiculous. A more expensive hotel will typically have a better location (close to attractions, ocean or mountain view depending on where you are), better amenities in the rooms (including a fancy bathroom that you don't have to share with strangers like you do on a plane!), better amenities in the hotel itself (dining options, pools, spas), concierge service... it's incomparable. I'd much rather spend more on the hotel than the flight if I had to pick one.[/quote]
