Spend $150 on some Xanax, it'll be like teleporting

Is $145 for 20 minutes worth it?

I guess it depends…

funny

I would say no. Get there at the same time breathing the same air. Same Public sleeping!

So you get better tasting food. - bigger screen and bigger seat.

Is that worth the 6/7 hour flight?

likesmart

Refreshed is probably a stretch, particularly if you dip into the free booze but LH business is nice and lounges are decent as well

$1500, no. ₹1500 and now we’re talking

Depends whose paying...

Yes.

Give me the extra 1.5k I’ll fly with you to Germany and show you a good time ;)

funny

Spend that same 1500 on nice meals, shopping, etc if you’re willing to spend it and you will have a significantly better time

This is the correct answer. It’s like a 7.5h flight, so that works out to $200 per hour, or $750 per in-flight meal if you look at it that way. The money is much better spent during the actual vacation.

Do not buy business up front… wait for the bid and you will pay 1/3

If you had the business class ticket for free, and someone offered you $1.5k for you trade with economy, would you take it?

Would you pay $100/hr to sleep?

Planning a trip to Rome and Naples with day trips to Tivoli and Pompeii. Is 1 week enough? I feel like reading through 3/4 day Rome and 2 day Naples itineraries, the trip seems rushed. I have unlimited PTO but my SO is limited in time (but luckily he can work extra hrs and then use less PTO). I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts? For reference, I did Venice-Florence-Rome in a week and it seemed okay but it also wasn’t as planned out

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
