some of us spend (similar amounts) on accommodations instead of J/F

J/F sometimes have great fares, or good deal via buying miles from airline
(sometimes Y prices for same itinerary are so expensive, J premium is tiny)

when flying commercial (even in Y) airport VIP/VVIP services can allow one to avoid commercial airport terminals, while just flying J/F sometimes still means you have to wait in long queues and hang around in airports especially before flights
