Individuals have increasingly been criticizing the amount of luxury lavished on passengers of First Class – at the expense of those in Economy. The Economist argued that we only have ourselves to blame.

• Airlines would like nothing more to offer – and charge for – than a better experience in Economy Class.
• Yet passengers always pick the carriers with the lowest fares.
• These are, unsurprisingly, the airlines that strip all the bells and whistles from flying.
• Travelers then complain about their flying experience – but they’re only getting what they pay for.
• If passengers put their money where their mouth is and stop rewarding the worst airlines with their dollars, perhaps we could all fly in greater comfort.
