just sell it and live wherever you want. i would never let a home giveaway dictate where i live. i mean lions bay would be great when im actually retired but until then i gotta live where i work.

I think we broke RS, or this thread reached it's post limit. Can't read the last page unless you post yourself.

lions bay is fun

lots of drama and you get to die in a land slide

[bcrdukes]

Nice

No doubt but think of the caché you'll get with a Lion's Bay address. Not just any run-of-the-mill caché but the type that'll get a highway built next to your town with quieter asphalt kinda caché.

House is probably already allocated to one of their friends lol

That house looks pretty dope. I wouldn't live in it cause Lions Bay is too far but I don't think I'd sell it right away - probably AirBnB it or rent it out a lot and just use it for summer parties or something for a few years before selling it.

Theres endless better ways to spend 4k
New couch every year
Dont work for an extra 1-4 weeks per year and not feel guilty
4 more track days
70 more restaurant dinners throughout the year
List is literally endless

First class doesn't make sense. The amount of extra one needs to pay vs what you get just doesn't quite cut it.

I have never paid for F tix, only miles redemption.

However, I wouldn't say the same for business class.

My rule of thumb is this, a J class seat takes roughly 3 Y seats. Thus, if J price is <=3x of Y, I'd always get business if flight time is 10hr+.

For 3x the price, your whole trip is just more convenient. First, the seat let you arrive refreshed. Flights to TPE (where I often fly) for example usually leaves late in the night here to arrive to TPE in the early morning. If I were seating in Y, I probably just want to go home and sleep once I land. In J, I can start the whole day without resting.

Then the baggage allowance. Most don't think about this, but with J having 2x32kg, you can just fill and fill your luggage until it's full and it's almost never overweight. No more being careful about what to bring or strategizing how to sneak in stuff in your jacket or carry on so that you can make to the weight limit. I have *A Gold and I get an extra piece for *A. Not just that, anyone on my itinerary gets that as well. We once brought so many luggages back that I needed to hire a moving truck to carry all my stuff to the airport. (6pp*3pcs*32kg=over half a ton)

Finally, there's some service both on the ground and in the air. Luggage is one thing. And you hardly need to worry about lines. In Y, you are cattle, they just hurry everything through and that's it. In J, everything is just... more convenient.

For 3x the price, it's worth every penny IMO. I couldn't care less about 5* hotels when I'm visiting a city. As long as I've got a comfy bed in a clean room with nice location, why do I want 24hr concierge/resto/pool? I wouldn't be anywhere near hotel for most of the day.
