Every time I've flown First/Business class, it's been out of my own pocket. Every time I've had my employer pay for a flight, it's been in cattle class.
Now I'm wondering what percentage of people in First/Business class are paying for the flight themselves.
- ghaff 1y agoDomestic at least, I expect a lot is upgrades for status travelers (who have flown a lot of it on company expense accounts). At least that's my experience. In semi-retirement, I probably do need to burn down my points though.

- toast0 1y agoMy current employer lets me expense flights so that I book in First and they pay what it would have cost in cattle. Might be worth it? Otoh, I have minor elite status and have gotten upgraded to cattle plus the last couple flights which might be nice enough.
- scarface_74 1y agoI fly frequently on average more than once a month and I really don’t see the benefit of first class for domestic flights. I am short though. I’m good with exit row seats. We aren’t budget travelers and we have been on a plane for leisure 12+ times a year since 2021. We are both Platinum Medallion on Delta and get automatic C+ upgrades at time of booking and enjoy our lounge access (via credit cards).
