One of the problems I see with first class is the overpricing. As a frequent domestic flyer (~once per month) it's almost impossible to get enough points/credit to make it affordable. I'd even personally pay for a first class upgrade on a business flight if it wasn't $300+. A delta flight from Seattle or Portland to NY is roughly $450 depending on when you book. To then charge $300 for first class seems wrong.
- glup 8y agoUnited always asks after I book a $200-$300 cross-country flight whether I want to upgrade to business class for another $800. While I admire their enthusiasm, somehow I always click "no."
- Marsymars 8y agoLast time I flew with United was to Tokyo from North America on a ~$500 round-trip flight. Inquired about first-class, and it was going to be an additional $10k.
- saryant 8y agoOn the other hand, I'd be tempted by a $300 upfare for business on a transcontinental flight. Different strokes, different markets.
- ghaff 8y agoIf it were a redeye and I could get an upgrade to lie-flat seating? Yeah, I'd pay that out of my own pocket.
