People really need to grow up! We don’t fly first class, but I have zero resentment for those that do. I look to see what the fare is if the flight is long. What next? Are they going to outlaw luxury cars, expensive clothes? Where does this foolishness end. Do they want us to look like cookie cutters like China?
Instead of envy of what others have we can strive to work harder, get more education to earn more money if such things are so important to people.
We will be like the lobsters in a bucket not allowing any to get out so we will all perish together!!

Don't forget... it's the beds on overnight international flights that are the real attraction.

That’s the escape shoot. There are two more just like it in the back of the plane.

That requires policing by the airline. Under the current situation, when there is no more room, bags get put in the cargo hold. Under the 1st class-last approach, the last few coach passengers will be staring at open bins (which may or may not be filled, eventually), which is likely to evolve into more incidents.

In a couple weeks I am flying first class to the UK on British airways, 1st class. Not impressive compared to Asian carriers, but still very nice: I did fist class a year ago on KLM from JFK to Amsterdam, and then from Amsterdam to Zambia (13 hours) and back with my wife. Well worth it for sure for such long flights.

Its just not fair. Where have we heard that before?

I’m not upset with anyone flying first class, but I want to know why the seats are getting smaller and the rows keep getting closer in coach.
To: al_c
But a couple or 3 hours isnt that big of a deal to me. An hour or two in conditions designed to be as uncomfortable as possible can make a short flight seem like a long, long one.
To: Blue Jays
Better yet, do it like Lufthansa in Frankfurt.
First class has its own terminal. When your flight is ready to leave, a person comes and gets you (no intercom page), they grab your carry on for you and walk you to an elevator. From there the elevator takes you down to the ground, where a BMW, or Porsche, or Mercedes waits to take you to your plane.
Up you go in an elevator. Then your escort hands you and carry on off to the Flight Attendant.
Imagine the gasket the people in coach would blow sitting in their seats, seeing that.
Current r/t coach prices FRA-JFK are $693 to $1044
First class costs $6308

I second British Airways first class. You feel like the Queen asked her people to look after you.

It’s a subset of the bigger question of why they don’t board planes for the rear.

In the words of Jerry Seinfeld in regards to the people in coach being envious of 1st class, “maybe if you would have worked a little harder...”

Well, make more money and buy a first class ticket.
That was easy.

The difference in ticket price fully explains the difference in service. “Class” of the passengers has little to do with it. It’s the class of the section, and anyone with the cost of a ticket can have it.
This rule was even in effect on the Titanic.

If airlines can configure seating to get even SIX more passengers into the aircraft, they make that much more on each packed flight.
Eventually passengers will determine the aircraft used by Company A is far more comfortable than the very cramped aircraft used by Company B.
People then begin to book flights on more comfortable Airline A if prices are somewhat similar.
It gets to a point that Airline B simply will not be able to lower their prices enough to address the discomfort and that is "the magic point" when accommodations start to get improved again.
