I fly to and from the Middle East it least 3 times a year, most often return tickets for getting home to Scotland.

I normally treat myself to business class, fly KLM via Schiphol. So a single trip home normally involves 2 seperate flights home, and 2 flights back for work. I normally claim back from my work X amount for my travel. So I only really pay the difference from X amount I get from my work to book business, the difference normally works out only a few 100's more than if I were to book a economy return ticket.

In addition I normally do business for the comfort as I'm tall, and after a 7 hour flight it's nice to freshing up in Schiphol in the Crown Lounge.

I've accumulated a fair amount of miles and Flying Blue XP to be Silver Status.

If it's short haul leisure travel it would suffice for me to travel economy.

In the last year I've flown:

Emirates - Economy
Sinapore Airlines - Business
Malaysian Airlines - Business
KLM Airfrance - Economy / Premium Economy & Business

I plan on treating the wife and I to a European weekend away in business class at some point once my miles is sufficient.

I'm not a snob, but I've flown enough economy in the past few years on enough airlines to appreciate business class.
