Mrs jacknyoc and I always look with envy at the Biz and First Class sections and the passengers as we make our way to E (or most likely E+ depending on the airline) enjoying the fact that we'll be crunched a bit seat-wise on two trips for what we would have spent for one up front. it's a trade-off we've discussed a lot and are willing to make...quantity vs quality for us is the key.

In addition, the true joy of the trip for me, at least, starts with the planning...where should we go, when should be go, how can we snag our FF seats, what should we do when we get there, etc...I really like that part of it and the excitement of the planning. We obviously love the actual trips and experiences...and I for one love the flying part of it as well...but I can do without the security lines and all that brings.
