    Too fracking right only fly first or business (if you have to).

    Think of it this way. Do you really want to put your businesses primary revenue producing asset at risk from damage in cattle class?

    And £3000 lighter.

    Mind you, to NYC with just the wife, I'd definitely go Business Class.

    Exact same happened to the wife and I, we were upgraded on our flight to Kochi from Dubai, and we've never looked back at cattle class. That was 10 years ago nearly.

    You can fly business to NY for less than £1K these days, makes a huge difference, especially if you're only going over for a long weekend.

    Flew business to Auckland last year with Emirates from Glasgae, was rather nice.

    Agree. Air NZ Business Prem is rather nice. A bit like BA First with individual rather than pair seats - means you don't have to talk to the wife and can enjoy the movies.

    I like the phrasing against joining the mile-high club. "Keep your clothes on" Well, that's not much of a barrier, is it?

    Anyway, the easiest way to join the mile-high club is sex on top of (or half way up) a mountain. Best attempted in summer, rather than a mid-winter blizzard.
