I can't imagine spending extra $ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-usually-travel-coach-business-class-or-first-class/page/2#post-920805 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 20:15:06 +0000 tequiero21 920805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Coach. We rode first for the first time going to Las Vegas cuz the people sending us made a big boo boo, so they upgraded us to first on the way back. O.m.g!! I'd love to ride first all the time. The leg room! We were so miserable flying to Greece that we may go business if we ever have to take long long long flights again. I hate that it's so expensive though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-usually-travel-coach-business-class-or-first-class/page/2#post-909953 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 16:03:14 +0000 Foodnerd81 909953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost always coach. I've been surprise upgrades a few time, which is awesome, and we have been gifted miles enough for first a couple of time. When we went to Alaska at 18 weeks pregnant, and had a red eye home, I put my foot down and flat out insisted on first! (It was miles anyway). Otherwise it coach all the way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-usually-travel-coach-business-class-or-first-class/page/2#post-909934 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 15:49:05 +0000 winniebee 909934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've only ever flown coach! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-usually-travel-coach-business-class-or-first-class#post-909930 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 15:46:26 +0000 Andrea 909930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually coach, unless we have miles, then we use them to upgrade. For work, it is business/first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-usually-travel-coach-business-class-or-first-class#post-909847 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 14:26:13 +0000 mediagirl 909847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Coach. We would only fly first if we had lots and lots of money (and we don't). :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-usually-travel-coach-business-class-or-first-class#post-909794 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 13:28:13 +0000 MsMamaBear 909794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Coach, I hate flying. Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-usually-travel-coach-business-class-or-first-class#post-909793 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 13:27:47 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 909793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Coach! None of my flights are long enough to justify business or first class. I can stick it out for 2.5h in coach!</p> <p>When we went overseas, we flew first class. It is a 14h flight, so, I needed to be comfortable. On the way home, our first class seats had somehow booked out? So, they refunded us our money and put us in coach. OMG, was that hell..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-usually-travel-coach-business-class-or-first-class#post-909731 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 12:17:08 +0000 googly-eyes 909731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Coach!</p> <p>First class sounds like a huge waste of money to me! But I guess if you have a ton of it... Or maybe on a red eye? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-usually-travel-coach-business-class-or-first-class#post-909663 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 11:05:26 +0000 Sapphiresun 909663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty much always cash. Sometimes we get wild and go coach plus or whatever various airlines call it for extra leg room/express lineups, but have never flown first class. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-usually-travel-coach-business-class-or-first-class#post-909547 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 10:18:38 +0000 luckypenny 909547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before I got married I used to always fly first class. My dad traveled every other week for work and had racked up a LOT of miles so we used those. I wouldn't pay cash for first class seat. Now we only fly coach. Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-usually-travel-coach-business-class-or-first-class#post-909502 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 09:40:24 +0000 78h2o 909502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BoogieBea: definitely look into first if it's Alaska and its a crazy long flight. Our MD to HI flight had 3 legs each way. We were there for Christmas, so it was pricey. Other airlines were charging $900 for coach. Alaska was $1100 for coach or $1300 for first. We used the $99 companion ticket so it came out to $700 each for first. Like I said, we saved $50 each on luggage check fees, saved on meals, movie player rental, drinks, etc. So in the end it didn't cost that much more but made our journey fun vs. just plain loooong. :)</p> <p>Also, on Continental and Alaska, sometimes the standard award tickets are not available and the first class ones are the same price (in miles) as the flexible coach award flight. So it's always worth checking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-usually-travel-coach-business-class-or-first-class#post-909460 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 09:13:07 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 909460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Coach. I have yet to fly first class, that would be cool if it were the hubs and I on a long flight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-usually-travel-coach-business-class-or-first-class#post-909456 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 09:10:28 +0000 mrs. bird 909456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>coach, we're poor! :wink: i've been upgraded to first class before though.... warm cookies.... sigh, it was delightful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-usually-travel-coach-business-class-or-first-class#post-909453 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 09:07:06 +0000 Mrs. Pen 909453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always coach.

I have been upgraded to first or business maybe twice and it is definitely nice. But yeah, the budget is far from allowing that kind of travel luxury. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-usually-travel-coach-business-class-or-first-class#post-909391 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 08:07:10 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 909391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Coach.

But when I was a kid, my dad travelled a lot so had a ton of points, so we got upgraded to business class a lot. I miss it! It was so nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-usually-travel-coach-business-class-or-first-class#post-909312 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 06:40:58 +0000 MrsBrewer 909312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Coach!

Can't afford anything else! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-usually-travel-coach-business-class-or-first-class#post-909250 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 00:17:53 +0000 Ree723 909250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Coach - like others, I can sleep anywhere so it's not a big deal. I did get a free upgrade to business class on a Chicago to London flight a few years ago and it was heavenly! Other than that, just several free upgrades to economy plus, which is always appreciated. If I'm paying though, it's always standard coach class. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-usually-travel-coach-business-class-or-first-class#post-909249 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 00:12:18 +0000 lemondrop 909249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Coach, we can't (or won't) afford anything else. I'd rather spend the money on something else. I've never had work pay for more than coach either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-usually-travel-coach-business-class-or-first-class#post-909240 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 23:58:26 +0000 Pepper 909240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For personal, domestic travel, it's always Southwest, which is all coach. I always pick coach for personal travel, it's just so ridiculously expensive otherwise. For work, it's business or first. I am spoiled from flying to Europe first class. That was amazing! When I go back for vacation it's just not going to be the same travel experience! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-usually-travel-coach-business-class-or-first-class#post-909239 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 23:56:20 +0000 BoogieBea 909239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: oh boo. Eh I would have never gone for it anyway - would've still been too pricy for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-usually-travel-coach-business-class-or-first-class#post-909235 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 23:54:06 +0000 sunny 909235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BoogieBea: They changed the terms of the companion ticket. It is only valid for coach travel now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-usually-travel-coach-business-class-or-first-class#post-909233 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 23:52:40 +0000 BoogieBea 909233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@78h2o: love that Alaska companion deal though we've never used it for first class tickets. Something to think about! Haha.</p> <p>We fly coach. I've only flew business class several times when we relocated overseas. </p>
