The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
I wasn't going to make one but I didn't see any made and there was no mandate in the last thread that I saw. This can be closed, was just trying to serve the [chat] community.
EDIT: Shit, jumped ship before I saw it was given to Feral. My bad, new chat away.
Do the people in standard class not get seats at all?
They get the same seats, and a less fancy meal.
EDIT:
If you get on a flight with the regular Business Class cabins that aren’t considered “Business Plus,” you may be surprised to see that each seat section has three seats across it – meaning there’s a middle seat. A middle seat? In Business Class? Yes and no.
There are technically three seats in a row, but in Business Class Iberia doesn’t sell the middle seat – so you’ll have a full seat between you and the next passenger. That gives you a bit more room to move, and also provides a place to put your purse or personal belongings during the flight.

Nah, this is good. Don't know how long we'd have had to wait for Feral, it would have just gone to someone else anyway.

Frankly, I need to get rich enough to travel first class. I've only done it once, and it was great. Pre-takeoff sushi. A supply of gin. Decent wine list. Reasonable menu. Comfortable bed-chair. Air hostess to deal with my bag full of vomit.
Bliss.

First class is wonderful. I always wonder why I never fly it and then remember it cost more than I would probably make in a month one way. But that one time I flew it to Japan for free was amazing.

In general Jacob will assign a poor sap to create another one for our entertainment whereas Will just goes with the gladitorial [Chat] battle to the death.

Yeah, I think it was something silly like two grand each way for first class to Japan. I only ended up there because of air miles, and possibly some elaborate trickery on the part of my parents. I wish I'd kept the BA tracksuit.

I keep getting tempted to try First Class on the trains, especially because Virgin do a £15 upgrade at the weekends.
However because I'm obsessed with ghetto transport, I am genuinely considering spending seven hours on a National Express night coach up to Glasgow.
There is also the truly ghetto "Megabus" (which bizarrely, is more expensive than an advance National Express fare), which is a standard commuter bus, not a coach, which departs at 0230 in the morning from a street bus stop in the outskirts of Birmingham, presumably so that the passengers are spared the shame of being spotted by anyone they know.
i flew first class once, from LAX to Fiji, yep, whole family got bumped to first class on that long ass flight because they overbooked the thing
and, ah, i was a kid at the time, and this was well before 9/11 and things like that, soooo i got to be up in the cockpit of the 747 while it was in the air and meet the captain and whatnot
Airlines need to fuck right off with their stupid pricing.
The BMI website tells me that it is £18.00 each way for a return ticket back home, but only if you click all the way through to the very last screen of the payment process does it inform you about the £112.00 of applicable taxes and charges.

I would love to be able to fly first class every time.
i need to be rich enough to afford plane tickets period
next year I'd like to go to PAX proper, not just PAX East
I hear there are places that will pay you if you provide a service for them, its called "working". Even in canada, well "working eh".
My job(s) don't pay much. I've been looking for another job that pays more, but this area's tapped out and commuting isn't much of an option without a car.

I have no idea how megabuses can turn a profit. The drivers must be indentured servants and the vehicles themselves must run on magical fairy dust.

aw yes
A kid got let into the cockpit on some flight I was on recently (maybe it was one of the Bristol-Paris flights? It could have been something in the states), so it's nice to see they've restricted that in order to show kids the meaning of terror*.
*When I was little, I was let into the cockpit. Those things are just huge glass bubble and the sky is everywhere. I nearly passed out from vertigo

Yes, I suppose if you're poor then you can settle for the Business Class lounge, but frankly if there isn't a beautiful girl hanging around to take me to the gate when it's time so that I can focus on drinking my champagne and listening to the jazz pianist, then what's the point?
I regret not having time to use the spa which is inside the First Class lounge in Heathrow.

In the Northeast , there are Chinatown buses between the Chinatowns of major cities. For ten bucks and the first of riding in 3rd world style you could get the Fung Wah bus from Boston to NY, about 220 miles (looks like its $15 now). There's similar stuff from DC, Philly, etc
I have no idea how megabuses can turn a profit. The drivers must be indentured servants and the vehicles themselves must run on magical fairy dust.
From what I've seen of them (the Glasgow-Edinburgh one is quite popular, as it's a quid, runs late at night, and you're only stuck on it for an hour or so) they seem to be retired vehicles from the regular Stagecoach fleet, and they've basically divided the cost of the fuel and the driver by the number of seats on the bus and then stuck a margin on the top.

Well there are seats on the bike machines they work to power the plane.
