All that said…I’m also the weirdo who has no hesitation in spending copious amounts of money on brass, bullets, guns, hunts, but hates paying for business or first class. I don’t particularly like crowds or being cramped with bunches of folks, not even cities, so I don’t love coach, don’t love business, don’t love first class, not even the pods and the like. Do it if with the misses because she likes it, but if just me, I’ll stick to a few of my preferred coach seats. Same level of displeasure, just lower rate. Even flying with the misses, I’d prefer one of my favorite coach seats over the pod…but she’d get bent if I didn’t fly up front with her…not hypothetically, I tried it once, she wasn’t a fan.
Guess it’s really simple. I don’t mind spending money on things I care about or make me happy. Fare class isn’t one of them for me. I like boarding early and extra bags, but I get that through frequent flyer/OneWorld status.
It’s like the agent assist…on seat class, do what makes you feel covered, secure, happy, or whatever derived benefit you find in it.
