Perks are things like free first class upgrades, lounge access, no fees for checked luggage, no fee for flying standby on an earlier flight, free liquor, etc. They don't sound like much, but if you travel a lot, they are really useful.
Also slightly related: nobody pays for first class on domestic flights. Everyone up in first class is normally a frequent flyer (they tell you when you check in if you got an upgrade).
- ubernostrum 11y agoI've paid for domestic first a few times on routes where I knew the upgrade would be rough otherwise, or when I needed the bonus fare-based points to hit a status goal. Also, on the big three carriers (America, Delta and United), upgrades get processed multiple days out depending on your level of status. Currently as Executive Platinum on AA, I can be upgraded as early as four days out from the flight. I'm actually waiting for the email right now to see if my upgrades will clear for a couple segments later this week.
