In rare agreement with R’ Yosef. I’ve flown up front on several 12/13 hr flights to Japan and Dubai and the obscene prices (which clients paid) were not worth it if I had to pay out of pocket. I don’t drink alcohol on long flights and have a hard time sleeping on the “flat beds” which they promote as a key feature. You also get the same “kosher” meals wrapped in plastic while watching the sushi and filet mignon served to the guy sitting next to you. The ONLY real advantage for me is that its a bit quieter in First, less likely to have a screaming baby sitting next you, and shorter lines (if any) for the Lav. I’m a big fan of the premium economy, where I purchase regular economy and use my upgrades to get a wider seat on the aisle. Sometimes, when flying off-season you can get upgraded to business but those upgrades seem very rare these days.
