You not seeing it as elitist to spend a couple hundred extra for a flight is extraordinarily elitist.

Even at a hundred bucks extra for the ticket, a family of five on teachers salaries might have to save for months to afford the 'good airline' for the first vacation they've taken in 5 years.

But nah...You're right. I'm just stupid. Enjoy your privilege and your flight.

youd rather risks ruining your holiday youve spent 5 years to save up than spend a bit more? you do you

Like I said, enjoy your privilege and your flight. 'Spending a bit more' isn't in the cards for a lot of people.

Personally, I actually do quite well and my family is very comfortable. I'm just not under the illusion that I'm better than anybody else because of the number in my brokerage account. But as you say, YOU DO YOU.

You seem to think i look down on people who take low cost lol, ive taken plenty myself and the more ive taken, the more ive realised its just not worth it. Im not sure what country or low-cost youve taken but as an example:

London to Paris leaving 21 Nov - 27 November

Vueling + 1 luggage - 133euros per person

British Airways + 2 luggage - 166 euros per person

doesnt seem outrageous
