No, it wasn't you fucking moron. A far smaller percentage of the population flew and tickets were far more expensive when adjusted for inflation.

You can go find the data yourself. It's pretty clear airfare has been consistently dropping for decades.

>>1692978
Carriers faced rising prices and pressure from shareholders to increase profits, so seat space per passenger gradually shrank as aircraft designers worked to shoehorn the most people into the cabin they could. So now economy air travelers are packed in like sardines, and the price of a first-class ticket has climbed out of reach of all but the wealthiest travelers.

That's a bullshit statistic for airplanes because of wildly varying seasonal prices for destinations, layovers that technically route you hundreds of miles out of the way, etc.

This is getting retarded. Literally pick any time in the mid 20th century (the mythical Golden Age of Air Travel) and it will be comically more expensive than 21st century air travel.

This and major non-low cost airliners like Lufthansa and Air France literally lives off subsidies. If laissez-faire was introduced in air transports most of them would bankrupt overnight

theres plenty of airlines that dont receive subsidies. they arent in a laissez-faire environment so they still have their flaws but they still aren't expensive.

I can’t be the only one who thinks first class like this is just retarded. There’s simply no need for that level of service in the skies unless you’re a saudi prince who likes lighting his cigars with hundred dollar bills. It’s just wasteful.

That being said, US domestic first class has become a complete joke now that it’s next to impossible to fly in a wide body without leaving the continent.

He was well dressed and always smelled good. I have a strong suspicion I have some cousins in another country who do not have the same grandmother as me. He enjoyed fine things but was not attached to owning them. He gave away money like every day was his last day on earth. Everyone was his friend from the highest level government officials to the poorest street vendors. He put a lot of poor kids through school and he died broke.

1960s and 1970s development in certain non-aligned countries that were playing the capitalism/communism imperial arbitrage game. The "large events" that you'd read about in the books from those places in those times would be more violent spectacles that had nothing to do with him, but had there not been wars, the kind of work he did might have been what people remember from those places in that time period.

Jsut imagine for a second that economy class ticket is $0.50, first class is $20. Yes first class ticket is enormously mor expensive. But who cares? Relatively to your income it's still nothing and comfort more than worse it. Now imagine your earn $5 millons/ year .

I suppose you have a point. I’m at a point in my life where I can weigh the extra costs vs the benefits and honestly after flying a few times this year I’m seriously considering getting an airline miles credit card and only booking first class from now on. Cattle class has never been more accurate, I can only hope it’s at least a little more civil on the other side of the curtain.

Still doesn’t help in the airport itself.
