I’ve been chuckling all day that someone here thinks a measure of self-worth is the frequency with which you fly business class.

Money is just freedom tokens isn’t it. More money gives you more choices. Bit sad if people derive their self-worth from it, but having said that a bit of extra leg room is always nice.

I flew Emirates to Dubai business class once, honestly not trying to swing my e-length here, just want to share. Even the stupendous bell who got way too drunk and started abusing the stewardess couldn't sully my experience (for the record, yes, I told him to wind his neck in), the stand up bar was a particular treat!

Exactly! If you’ve got to spend however many hours in the vicinity of an absolute weapon then the perks must definitely help.

More than welcome to post a pic of the inside of the plane mate. It's a safe space here.

It truly never crossed my mind to take photos of my feet or a selfie drinking a martini mate.
Never thought I'd have to prove my airline boarding prowess to some Covid denying Texan on an internet forum.
5 stars.
If you need to do it regularly for work you spend ages away from family/friends and half the time you are back home you are so jet-lagged you are lucky if you can boil an egg or complete a sentence. Most of the people I know who did/do it got over the novelty factor very quickly.

Preach! I've done it for over a decade, as you said the airline novelty soon wears off.
I love working abroad and experiencing new things (I'm sure the mods on here have been bemused by my IP addresess before) but give it time and even the booze in airports starts to lose its magic
There are obviously worse ways to earn a living but it bemuses me that it is in anyway a measure of self worth or intelligence.Preach! I've done it for over a decade, as you said the airline novelty soon wears off.

For instance I doubt Kati Kariko is part of any air-mile scheme but she has probably saved more lives than all the rest of us have ever met.
Kati Kariko Helped Shield the World From the Coronavirus (Published 2021)
Collaborating with devoted colleagues, Dr. Kariko laid the groundwork for the mRNA vaccines turning the tide of the pandemic.
Probably doesn't even know what a plane is the moron. Also, she's always going on about mRNA but always forgets to capitalise the M. Did she even go to school?There are obviously worse ways to earn a living but it bemuses me that it is in anyway a measure of self worth or intelligence.
For instance I doubt Kati Kariko is part of any air-mile scheme but she has probably saved more lives than all the rest of us have ever met.
Now Katalin Kariko, 66, known to colleagues as Kati, has emerged as one of the heroes of Covid-19 vaccine development. Her work, with her close collaborator, Dr. Drew Weissman of the University of Pennsylvania, laid the foundation for the stunningly successful vaccines made by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna. For her entire career, Dr. Kariko has focused on messenger RNA, or mRNA — the genetic script that carries DNA instructions to each cell’s protein-making machinery. She was convinced mRNA could be used to instruct cells to make their own medicines, including vaccines. But for many years her career at the University of Pennsylvania was fragile. She migrated from lab to lab, relying on one senior scientist after another to take her in. She never made more than $60,000 a year.Kati Kariko Helped Shield the World From the Coronavirus (Published 2021)

Excellent post about someone I hadn't heard of before. Damn shame hearing about stuff like that but what a great person!
Unfortunately "DNA" is a bit close to "NDA" and whilst none of us troglodytes know what one of them is I sure can't wait to have it explained to me by learned micro blokes so I can throw rocks at it and drool in it's presence.
Erm, DNA is also an anagram of NAD. Think about it, nad is another word for a testicle. What's another word for testicle? Ball. What is ball one letter away from? BILL
And she has probably spread this hoax in front of people on, I don't know, a stage perhaps. What is stage an anagram of? GATES
BILL GATES
Need I say more...
