Hard to see where you&#x27;re coming from when from your perspective everyone has tons of excess money laying around and simply chooses not to spend it.<p>Did it ever occur to you that maybe everyone else isn&#x27;t as affluent as you clearly are? We don&#x27;t choose not to fly in first because we are saving for a Ferrari or a cruise, or whatever you rich people buy.<p>If economy wasn&#x27;t available at the price it is available at then we literally wouldn&#x27;t be able to fly AT ALL. That&#x27;s where a lot of people are at financially, they can afford one return ticket a year, in economy.<p>This only gets more obvious when you look at a family of four... You&#x27;ll wind up paying as much for the Premium Economy upgrade (4x) as you would for a used car ($5K+).<p>Did your parents give you a &quot;small one million dollar loan&quot; too?
