I'm more or less the same as phreegreens. My wife and I are in our fifties and earn a comfortable income. We drive modest cars and live in a very average and modest detached house. We enjoy spending our money holidaying in style. As far as we are concerned our holiday starts as we close the front door, and ends when we open it again. Travelling with the minimum of fuss and maximum comfort is our number 1 priority. So, with the exception of flights of around 3 hours or less (for which C fares are a real rip-off anyway), we fly Business Class and stay at luxury hotels.
