Luxury Lie-Flat Seats Beat Short Bus Rides, Kind Of

In an epic quest to celebrate his wife's 52nd birthday, Kimanzi Constable unleashed 1 million credit-card points plus $12,000 on a business-class whirlwind through Europe. From 'hot meals and comfy seats' in Air France lounges to 'lie-flat, pod-style seats' that made him wish flights were longer, the trip sounded like a first-class dream. Yet, not all that glitters is gold: those short KLM Cityhopper flights offered seats that only 'reclined a little' with no food, no entertainment, and a special welcome to 'not-worth-it' upgrades. At least now, they've confirmed long-haul perks really are worth the splurge!
