Re: Flying business/first class
Yes a lot of CEOs and “big business people” tend to travel Business Class, but they are not the only ones. I’ve seen entire families with kids travel in Business Class too. If you have the money you can do that, regardless of whether you’re a CEO or not.
I have never paid extra for traveling Business Class, but have been upgraded for free a couple of times due to my Frequent Flyer Status. Apart from the extra leg space and more comfortable seats, the food is also better. At some airports you get preferential treatment on the immigration counters. And your luggage comes out on the belt prior to that of Economy Class passengers.
