[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sadly I have never flown first class.  Trying it once would be fun.  For those that fly a mix of coach vs first/business, do the upgrade amenities really justify the cost difference?  Having never flown first/business I don't have first hand experience in the differences.  Is the major difference just seating space?[/quote]

I fly a mix of coach and business for my office.  Have lots of miles on United, so coach is economy plus.  Honestly, that's good enough for me for any day flight, regardless of length.  But I am an average sized 5'5" woman. Even economy plus is cruel for someone who is 6'4" or taller.

The food is better in business class, but hardly worth the extra dollars.  Where it really pays off is on overnight flights where there is a time zone difference like Europe, and even more so for Asia or Australia.  The seats fold down into something quite bed like and you can actually get quite a good sleep, important if you need to be on the ground running with business when you arrive.

This would be far less important to me on personal travel, but as I get older, business seats look more and more attractive to me.  If I had huge amounts of disposable income, I would certainly choose it for any overnight flight.

Flying coach tonight to Europe.....[/quote]
