However, I would do it again if we had to because Paris was amazing. We also stayed at the Hyatt Madeleine using the Hyatt two free nights, the Vendome wasn't available. I agree with staying at a nicer hotel cause you'll be there for much longer than your 8 hour flight in economy. Even though my post isn't convincing to do economy, I would spring for the surprise and go for the two citi cards, get the economy tix and either the Hyatt card or the Sapphire card for your hotel nights, or both, thats 4 nights at the vendome
Isn't it like a 7-8 hours flight to Paris? Why didn't you sleep for 36 hours? Also, what type of people are sitting in economy on a flight to Paris? I assume it's not the same level of potential characters on say a random Southwest economy domestic flight, no? Seat and amenities aside, I find one of the biggest gambles in economy is the type of people that you might have to sit next to.
