Luxury hotels seem to have tighter socio-economic demographic profiles than scheduled common carriers' premium cabins.
All over the place where? I can't find any statistics. Could you please give me a link? and yes I do keep in my mind that premium cabins are often work paid, miles and upgrades etc. I just wanted to have simple statistics and know how much business class passagers make.
Without considering work paid, miles, upgrades etc (that's why I wrote "for both paid travel or personal travel" on my original post), I just believe people making $100k have more chance to be found in business cabin than those who make $15k.
I know I couldn't make my question clear. Sorry about that.
