Because I fly a lot, I have a ton of frequent flyer miles, and I usually use them to upgrade from economy to business or first class, particularly on long flights. I like the extra room, I like the better service. Hey, you even get free drinks.
That's why I was mystified to read today that here in America, Southwest Airlines is coming out with a deal were if you pay $30 extra - One way - you get to board the plane first... But, Southwest doesn't have business or first class cabins. All the seats are the same. So that $30 means you save about five minutes at the gate... And that's it!
I wonder how many crazy people will actually cough up the extra $30 for basically nothing extra? Although based on the craziness of many people, I wouldn't be surprised if it's a huge success.
