Degen

Quick question for the $DEGEN fam — is business class a scam or a legit flex? 🧐 Would you ever drop $5k on an 8-hour roundtrip flight? And how much should someone earn per year to justify that? Give me your very opinionated answer — no fence-sitting, top hat gang.

Scenario: 10 hour roundtrip flight.

Ticket: $5,000.
Perks: Slightly wider chair, champagne at altitude, and the ability to judge people walking past you.

Worth it? Or nah?

For me, it's not worth it. With the difference between traveling in business class and economy, you can buy a few more tickets. It's true that I'm speaking from my point of view. I suppose that for someone who earns millions of euros a year, 5,000 is small change and is definitely worth it.
