I fly about 150,000 miles a year, all pleasure, all low fare economy fares. Many of these are weekend trips to Asia, South America, and Europe. Leave on thursdays and return on mondays. Because of the benefits I receive for flying so many miles with one airline, United, I up flying in Business or FC 75% of the time. On long international flights, there is nothing better than sitting in a comfortable seat, receiving incredible service from the flight attendents, having a fine glass of wine, getting some actual sleep, and then arriving at your destination 10 or 12 hours later ready to hit the ground running. Service and comfort can be obtained very inexpensively, If one
travels wisely. After sitting up front, you get spoiled.
