      The price is not an issue - ya must be part of the 0.1%... FC is normally 3x a non FC seat inside the US - no clue outside.

      Dallas to Managua: $125 on Spirit Economy
      Houston to Managua: $570 on cheapest available FC (United)
      Dallas to Managua: $1,178 on cheapest available FC (AA)

      Economy allows me to fly for under 1/4 the cost from the local airport. FC requires a four hour drive to a Houston airport to even get an option nearly doubling the TIME of the travel to not be instane! And adding a ton of additional cost and complication.

      So for FC from the same airport... it's 1,000% higher and on an airline I enjoy flying less, with older planes. And two layovers instead of just one.

        What kind of income would you have to have to flip that frown upside down?

        When I was making in the .1% range, I was nowhere near FC making sense to me.

        But there are a lot of factors. Food, lay flat, bigger seats... all nice but their value to me is dollars, not thousands of dollars. If I get FC for $20, heck yeah, I'm all over that on a flight of any length. But for $100, probably not.

          Must be nice. I would have to choose between a FC ticket or actually having a vacation.

          With FC... the flight IS the vacation!

            Some people really have issues with the seats, food, drinks, and other factors on a flight. I do not. I'm so ridiculously comfy on flights that I won't even pay for seat assignments. I get middle seats regularly in economy and I don't really care. On all my flights this past week (four) I took the middle every time so that my traveling partner could have the non-middle seat. All the same to me. I'm just going to close my eyes and relax anyway.

              I think the point here is that @JasGot can afford to take us ALL on vacation, first class of course. Where are we going?

                  How about somewhere with a bit less civil unrest?

                    Meh. Nica is crazy safe. Even with the civil unrest it is safer than much of the US.

                      How about dinner and drinks in Key West? I would be willing to do that.
