Airlines cut even first class perks
 

"'First/business class is being somewhat devalued, but it still is an improved airline product compared to coach/economy, especially with the more extreme devaluation going on in the coach/economy section,' says David Stempler, president of the Air Travelers Association.

"'It reminds me of the saying from Mae West -- "I've been rich and I've been poor, and rich is better." I've flown in both and first/business class is better,' he adds."
