I know it's a little personal so I will start myself: I take business class about 80% of my flights and I make about $75 000. Business class is not cheap for me but I like to spend money on my travel comforts.

Thanks!

I retired this year. For the past 25 years I traveled globally for work as a Director of Engineering and later VP of Business Development.
My position in the company allowed me to book Business Class on any flight longer than 8 hours.
I used my upgrades when I traveled with my wife and family.

As for my income, it varied from year to year dependent on business, It was low 6 figures
