Would you upgrade to first class for $300 for a 3 hour flight? The airline is Delta, for context. 🤔

If it’s delta 1 sure if I wanted peace and quiet… or just want more space . Otherwise for 3 hours not worth it .. save the money for splurging on the trip and experiences

I’ve gotten cheaper upgrade offer on a 5 hr flight. I think it’s not.

If you have to ask, I’d probably say it’s a no. Upgrades are worth it if the fee is negligible to you or if the utility vs fee warrants the upgrade. You’re probably better off just sticking through the flight in normie class. If you are tall, like myself, 3 hours is where I start to consider an upgrade if the fee isn’t excessive. You can try sniping an upgrade closer to departure

No. $100 an hour? Yea that’s a huge nope for me. I would no do that.

I would cover it with miles if I had some to spare but generally no. Do you have status? Could be likely to get upgraded for free

Not for a 3 hour flight, no. That's really not bad. If anything just pay for an aisle or window seat whichever you prefer. i don't pay for first class unless it's an international flight that's going to be 5+ hours. Or sometimes for a red eye if it's like 5 hours long. I can handle being a little uncomfortable for 3 hours

My partner and I bought our home back in 2020. We got a good deal, low rate. But we want to move into a more spacious SFH. However, as we all know this market is crazy. Everything we want costs $620k+ and bc of rates it makes our mortgage estimates $3500+. We are currently paying $2k. And it looks we need to sell the house simultaneously as look for a new one or our contingency isn’t as attractive. I know it’s based on personal circumstances. But what would you do? - not move, sell and buy?
