But back to the flight. Business/First class is a gift you give yourself. Having a miles credit card is the best and most economical way of making this happen. I put all my charges on the card I’m planning on using for travel and make sure to pay it off every month in full. This is how you make it worthwhile. Be strategic about using your points, search in advance for ideal flights, and never rule out flying earlier to a different destination to visit, and then fly out to your ultimate desired location in order to get the best deals for your points. For example, I booked a roundtrip from San Diego to London and then another roundtrip from London to Athens. This was less points and cheaper than booking a round trip from San Diego, CA to Athens.
The perks of business class are that it has lie flat beds, a pillow, a blanket, great meals and drinks and just overall space and comfort. The staff are stopping by regularly to see what you need and cleaning up whatever you’ve finished in a timely manner. Airlines will differ as to comfort and quality of their business class, but there are loads of YouTube and internet reviews that can give you details on whatever flights you’re interested in booking on. Again, be strategic!
I seriously can’t imagine flying economy ever again unless the flight is relatively short. All of these bonuses make your trip so much easier and more pleasurable. Your journey can really be as great as your trip. Take the time to make it a trip you’ll never forget.
