October 18, 201015 yr Found this article interesting, but sad news, for those who like a little comfort while flying.. click here for article
October 19, 201015 yr Active Members This is really going to cause me problems. I may have to stop traveling.
October 19, 201015 yr Active Members Means nothing to me. Thirty plus years of work with not infrequent travel and I flew 1st class only once then only on one leg. My employer would not pay for 1st or business for that matter. That is what happens when your customer is the government. Paying out of pocket was out of the question with my short pockets. I appreciate for others it may be a pain.
October 19, 201015 yr No wonder BN demands to be flown on private aircraft by jimboi... He doesn't demand anything from me. I provide him private travel because I can.
October 19, 201015 yr He doesn't demand anything from me. I provide him private travel because I can. Hey Jimboi. I don't demand anything either. And, I put out a hell of a lot more then BN or any other escort. I have always wanted to go to Australia First Class. Can we work something out? Mile High Club included.
October 20, 201015 yr Not a huge deal since they correctly point out that business class today is nicer than first class was ten years ago.
October 20, 201015 yr Active Members Oz- I think you will have to go on the airlines if you want to go non-stop first class. The Gulfstream 650 which is due out in about 1.5-2 years is the only bizjet that will go that far. Maybe some of the BBJ's will but those are just airliners with fewer seats and more fuel. First class on the airlines has certainly been a many storied thing over the years. Before deregulation is when most people think real first class existed. However, there were no lay flat seats then, nevermind an "enclosed" space all your own ala A380's thus configured. Bottom line: First class was first class treatment (then) not amenities and that is what is so often lacking these days. Best regards, RA1
October 21, 201015 yr Active Members Just to make sure you know what BBJ in this case means, it stands for Boeing Business Jet. Boeing has "converted" the 737, mainly, but also the 757 into jets that have very luxious interiors and extra fuel tanks to accommodate business customers. We should be so lucky. Best regards, RA1
October 22, 201015 yr Wow no first class that is not good news for me ... my big body needs the extra space
