steve dave probably hasn't even flown an international flight in coach

I have. they were always sucky. also have flown to hawaii three times in coach and those were always sucky.

#RAPIDFIREREVIEW: All F-

Having flown to Asia three times in Economy Plus I can tell you it's no better than economy. Maybe an F+

Well, I can guarantee you I'm never going to fly to anywhere as far as Asia in less than business class. But, if you are and you are picking between coach and coach+ and the cost is less than $100 that's a great deal imo. I can't believe your company doesn't let you fly business with that distance. You should quit because of that reason alone.

it is very ridiculous, but it's really not that bad. Before the economy tanked everyone flew business to Asia. After that only people one level above me fly business. And like, I'm traveling with these small groups where half the people get to fly business and the other half is in coach and we're all on the exact same schedule. And if someone one level above me can't get business approved (which often happens) I'm hopping around asia listening to oh god the horror of that coach flight a week ago. There's also an option for those that are eligible for business to take $800 cash if they save the company $3000 flying coach instead of business. I'd take it, no doubt. Do you know how many concert tickets you can buy with $800?

Also, I've found that I hit maximum discomfort at around 4 hours and honestly don't get any worse after that. And Plus doesn't help if you're under 6-4 - it's an F+ at best like I said. Maybe mocat wants to feel like a high roller boarding before group 3 - that's worth $160 to some people.

the main appeal for me would be the extra room and extra recline, since it is overnight. i have no idea how much extra room it is.

if it was $150, there would be no question, and i would not do it.
if it was $20, there would be no question, and i would do it.
but it's $79, so that's why i posed the question.

take the $800, book the coach seat, cancel the coach seat paying the cancellation penalty and pocketing the remainder, book yourself a biz class award seat on your own miles.

I don’t know if you’ll have extra recline. Economy plus on united doesn’t.

All the booking has to be done through an agent

united normally does (depending on the plane type). I think all of their wide body fleet does.

More legroom & More recline*



*More recline on select flights

rusty's company is really breaking his balls on this.  let the man make some bones on this deal for crying out loud.

mocat, I'm pretty sure the birds that don't have more recline are going to be the domestic/smaller planes.

Rental properties

#RAPIDFIREREVIEW: It sounds like a good way to invest/make money but it's not unless A) you are going to do all/most of the manual labor/paperwork/suing people on your own B) you understand basic home electric/plumbing/etc. C) you make it your full time job. Otherwise your return on investment once you factor in your time spent on it is going to be very low. C
