Silliest thing posted on FT in some time. Huge difference between being in steerage for 17 hours and being in business for 17 hours and being in first for 17 hours. If SAA ever offers to upgrade you, be sure to decline it, telling them that "...the point is to get there, not the flight itself" and insist on your seat in back. LOL

For many, many, many, many, many others, how they get there matters as well. Matters very, very, very, much. ^
