Domestic Business Class - is it worth it?
As a member of the Virgin Australia Velocity program, I often get invitations in my inbox to 'upgrade' my flights to Business Class. I had just assumed that it wasn't worth the dosh for short flights. This Easter, my curiosity got the better of me, and I decided to see for myself if it were any different to economy. A business class flight from Sydney to Hobart will cost you about $250 on top of your regular fare. Here's what that extra loot will get you; * a very comfy leather seat with lots of leg room * unlimited drinks in proper glass cups * a very nice meal designed by a celebrity chef * proper cutlery * a tray table that isn't on the back of someone's seat * addressed by your name by the flight staff * priority boarding And the piece de resistance... * a chocolate bunny Seriously, though- if you hate flying and can afford to upgrade, do it. Personally, I'd rather spend that extra money on something else!
