Frequent Flyer Cranks: Shut. Up.

You’re not entitled to More and Better because you fly more... UNLESS YOU PAY MORE.

Parents with kids are broke and don’t fly that much... of course they’re going to buy coach tickets and monopolize all the overhead bins. You just don’t belong in this section if you fly all the time.

If you drive hundreds of miles a week for business, I guarantee it’s not in a two cylinder beater with holes in the floor that breaks down every hundred miles. You couldn’t get business done that way. You’d be a fool if you didn’t buy a big car with lots of leg room and creature comforts.

PAY MORE WHEN YOU DRIVE MORE to have a better quality of life.

The same is true with airline travel. Coach is all about the cheapest fare possible. People who rarely fly can take it for three hours. But you need to suck it up, Mr. I-Fly-All-the-Time, and upgrade to Business Class, if you want no kids and plenty of overhead space and leg room and no “amateur” travelers who don’t move fast enough in the aisle to suit you.

Are you also incensed when you open your McDonald’s bag and discover there’s no foie gras or white wine?

PAY MORE WHEN YOU FLY MORE to have a better quality of life.

Amen! And families with kids should be treated the same. If you want the benefit of early boarding, then PAY FOR IT.
