Why is a first class ticket so lucrative expensive?


Travel Info
I was searching for a first class ticket from Houston to Paris via Air France and the price was over $9K!!! Why so expensive to travel first class on any airline?

Travel Tips
To directly answer your question, a First Class seat (on a 3 cabin aircraft) takes up about the same amount of room as 6 Economy Class seats. You also pay more (regardless of class) for tickets that are not bought far in advance.

If your trip is more than 50 days in the future, check Continental and Delta for Business/First fares.

If your trip is imminent, check the cost of buying a full fare Economy Class ticket and using or purchasing sufficient frequent flier miles to upgrade.

If you have an American Express card, you may be able to purchase enough miles via the Membership Rewards program to get a Business/First ticket for a lot less than just buying the ticket.
Others
They only difference between business class and first class is the fact the first class has a bed. First class is not worth it compared to business class. same luxuries. save yourself money.
1. dont fly airfrance
2. a Bed is soooo worth it on an intl flight
3. best airlines with beds to europe are british airways (they have beds in business on long haul flights) and virgin upper class
4. If you can afford to fly bus or first invest in xanax or a sleeping pill ( at least then you dont have to be awake and aware or the fact you are crammed into a tiny seat for several hours)
5. You can find bus and first cheaper than that if you search
that is a very good question!

personally, I dont know. But how much was the economy or buisness fare? I think that the Buisness fare should be 30% higher than economy and the 1st class fare 75% higher than economy as you do get benefits of course.

But the airlines defence would be that there would be too many people going buisness and first class if fares were to simerler
