The first random flight I just looked up on American Airlines, first class is a little more than double basic economy, but less than double what main cabin is.
You also get a couple bags checked for free so if you need that it narrows the difference. Also, free food and drinks. That should lure them.
I'm not a big fan of physical touch, in general. For example, I'm not a hugger. I don't like people in my bubble if they are not invited.
I've been to both Rome and Paris and never had any issues. If it is a concern, get a money belt and keep your necessities in that. Both were safe, well mostly besides a moment in Paris where security told us to leave an area near the subway because of a possible "bomb threat." The only time I felt unsafe was when we were driving in that crazy city.
Well I would explain it to you but then it would be mansplaining
I had a similar story at Ohare a month ago. I went from off the plane through security, changed terminals using the train, back through security, and boarded the plane in 35min.
This reminds me of a recent flight, Denver to Louisville. we reach the point were we can recline our seats. Person infront of me reclines, I recline. Immediately I have a 'masseuse' kneeing my seat with rhythm and with purpose. I choose to ignore it... it lasted 25 minutes. The last 5 minutes or so wasn't as intense, lol. I never looked back, never complained, just let it be.
That’s the thing, some people are just big. But I don’t think most men need to spread their knees three feet apart for four hours.
That's one of those situations that there's no good answer. I could have said something to the flight attendant, but I had no way of doing that discretely. And it's unlikely she would've moved me anyway. So then I'm uncomfortable AND the guy just heard me complain he's too big for his seat.
