Last year I paid cash for an international business class ticket to earn my Executive Platinum. You earn 3x the EQMs for that, and the ticket wasn't that expensive.

A few years ago I started flying on Christmas Day to get good savings. The tickets are cheap, the airports are deserted, and the flights are on time because everyone wants to get home.

I once flew Miami to Detroit on AA for $100 on Christmas day. Still made it in time for dinner and presents!

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
