I have a message for the Transcendentalist: most of us would love to enjoy that beauty, but having no leg space or access to a window kind of hamper us ;)
Are you joking? Or are you not in touch with what constitutes "expensive" for most Americans? My recent coach-class round trip from Kentucky to Washington state and back cost $500. That's expensive. I looked into business class for the same trip, and it was about twice as expensive. Didn't even bother looking at first.
