The 6 times I flew with Delta, I was upgraded every time. One flight carried a total of 12 people. Took 2 legs of a 1 hour flight with Spirit Airlines (The cheapest carrier in the USA). The round trip ticket to Tampa, FL and back was $36.
Not at all expecting this to remain the case 6 months from now.

For me, it's just that the airline first class price points are absurd to me. I have never ever ever ever ever paid for a full priced first class ticket, or business class for the matter. My status with Delta does allow for routine upgrades to business class on domestic flights and to economy comfort+ on international travel (over 50% occurrence, probably 75%.
While I do enjoy the perks, if I was forced to actually shell out the cash at the going rates, would I? Nope (except for the few times when I was offered a heavily discounted upgrade offer.) Take a look at prices for transcontinental business class prices in the United States. An economy ticket from east coast to west coast is somewhere around $400. A business class ticket costs around $2000. That's an extra $1600 for a four to five hour flight, $400 per hour for extra leg space, comfy seats, and not having to deal with loud children and passengers with poor airplane etiquette. That's just too rich of a luxury expense for me to reason, as frankly, I judge the value of service purchases based on my personal working rate, and I am well shy of being a $400/ HR earner.
For transatlantic travel (for me to get to an FKK), the economy prices are $800 compared to $4000 business and over $7000 for first class.
This is another way I look at it, for the price difference of a business class ticket, I can have 64 Cheap Charlie half-hour FKK rooms, or 32 half hour CIM rooms, or 32 hours of a continuous blowjob. Or for the same flight time, 8 hours with 4 hookers continuously sucking, fucking, and licking from head to toe.
If I only made one or two mongering trip per year, perhaps. But for someone who makes 5 to 6 trips per year, $20-40 K per year just on luxury class tickets would easily double my annual holiday budget.
Anyway, if the price point was closer to 2 x compared to economy tickets, that would be my personal point of fair value.
As for hotels, it just depends on why I'm traveling and with whom. I'm still not above staying in hostels if backpacking through whatever region that I am exploring. In fact, it's sometimes preferred as many hostels are naturally social environments. On the other hand, if I am traveling with a lady or to a tropical leisure locale, will I shell out extra money versus a budget roach motel? Of course. Have I stayed at a $15 per night hotel when driving across the country? Also yes.

That all changed in 2018, when I brought a good friend with me to FKK land and we double teamed a FKK "superstar" LOL!
It was quite the life changing experience I would say. First thing and most important thing, it totally broke the illusion I had with the girl. Seeing her being used like a piece of fuck meat in person is definitely a refreshing perspective I greatly needed LOL! Seeing her sucked my friend the exact way she sucked me made me realize she just was really good at her job and it was just a job at the end of the day. Secondly, it made my friendship with my friend a lot better. We had a unique friend experience that many men don't share and it was definitely worth it just to have a deep friendship! Lastly, it brought me pleasure to be to public with my actions, not something I actively seek but there is a level of satisfaction I have now knowing others are watching us fuck.
In fact, my last FKK action of 2020 was public during GT's Chinese New Years party where all the rooms were full. The girl I was with really got into it when she realized I was really into it. We did it in the cinema room and it was packed, but people gave us room for what we needed to do.

That means that even when I'm travelling for pleasure I try to find a way to move myself up one class. And even when I'm staying a little longer in Frankfurt or Zürich for FKK I won't move hotels to some dump. Instead I will move to a Hyatt or Intercontinental. After the pandemic I will be watching prices closely because as it is I have a real need for personal travel. My employer on the other hand found their convenient excuse to cut the travel budget almost entirely. Let's see about 2022.
I don't see myself travelling to FKK cities much unless I can hide it behind a 'legitimate' reason so I'll absolutely be one of those travellers that won't bring additional income to those cities.

On SecretFlying, you can still find USA to mainland Europe flights for $275-400 in the April-December 2021 timeframe. A lot can happen in 3-12 months. Airlines could go bankrupt. International borders could close or you could contract CV19 a week before your flight and be unable to fly. Would change fees be waived? What would the refund process look like?
Regional airfares should be stable in Europe as long Ryanair and Wizzair are still operating. Ryanair I would assume has very little dependence on business travellers. Each booked seat costs Ryanair on average 47 EUR while they on average charge each passenger 37 EUR. Ryanair is willing to take that 10 EUR loss on each seat because: (1) they know they can fill each plane, and (2) their predictive analytics show that each passenger spends on average 17 EUR on ancillary services (extra luggage, priority boarding, beverages, lottery tickets). This business model allowed Ryanair to be the most profitable airline in Europe: https://simpleflying.com/how-low-cos...rs-make-money/.
Returning to subject of long-haul travel. Back in 2018, low cost carriers like WOW Air, LEVEL and Norwegian Air were offering dirt cheap flights to Americans wishing to cross the Atlantic. This forced traditional carriers like United and Delta to lower their pricing to remain competitive. So a lot may depend on if these budget airlines can stay financially afloat. And if Norwegian Air collapses like WOW Air did in 2019, will other low cost carriers emerge to replace them? From a regulatory standpoint, I am not sure what the barrier to entry is like. Governments could choose to lower the taxes and bureaucratic red tape. Governments still own and operate some of the world's major airports, so in theory NYC could lower the fees they charge to airlines that land in JFK.
Governments also hold on to airports because they see them as economic-development tools that provide indirect boosts to their bottom line assets that attract businesses and tourists, for instance. Thats certainly an argument in favor of building an airport. Once an airport is built, however, those indirect benefits will continue no matter whos in charge of daily operations.
Globally, airport privatization has been going on since 1987, when Margaret Thatcher put Londons Heathrow on the block. Today, more than 100 major airports around the world are privately run. In 2018, three-quarters of all passenger traffic in Europe and 66 percent of all passenger traffic in Latin America and the Caribbean passed through privately run airports, according to Airports Council International.

About cars, when you drove H3 E21 and RS500 Cosworth daily for more than 20 years, my rodeo girl as I told my girlfriends who were jealous and asked me to sell: I don't want You die in this car, I need You for my new life, nothing about money they never asked me, but now, Audi are so easy and I find even easier with no quattro which make me problems to feel rear reactions, and if You really drove many kilometers, especially at night, sometimes after skiing or climbing whole day, You should know speed and adrenaline help not to feel asleep when You are used to drive many kilometers. Facts are no girl never took me to any desk of staff, and I never crashed injured anybody in more than 35 years, often pushing to grip limit and maximum engine power, and not even when skiing, injuring only me. Not so bad for a bad guy, but still improving like good old French wine, even I don't drink.

Posts: 284After the pandemic, whenever this finish, how do you imagine the FKK scene will be?
Will its change from before corona or it stay the same?
If it change what do you think will change? More or less girls? Better services? Change prices?
I know its hard to tell for sure. But just wondering.
I think not much will change. Maybe more girls (hopefully) which will lead to more competition between girls and better services overall.

I'm just offering some hope of optimism in that the mere loss in business class sales by actual business travelers may not be what actually leads to the direct loss in airline profit margins. The bulk of business travelers are still flying economy but are superficially making it appear as if all of the business class seats were actually purchased in hard cash, as in direct profits. Point is, a bigger loss might actually come from the lack of daily economy class business travelers, and perhaps like you said, last minute economy class business travelers paying bloated economy ticket prices.
One would think that senior management travel currently travel less than the young consultant and middle level company lieutenants, leaving the latter to handle the weekly logistics and stress of company operations. The former are probably the ones that always travel business class or higher while the young, weekly travelers are relegated to those economy class tickets. Perhaps the former's travel habits will be less affected in the post pandemic world and actual business class sales do not suffer as much of a direct loss as it would suggest on the surface.
My other optimistic hold out. I've always felt that business class tickets are extremely artificially bloated due to careless company spending. With smaller amounts of business travelers filling up the first class seats, perhaps the market will dictate that business class tickets come down to a reasonable price practical to the upper middle class. At current prices, there is no way I'm willing to spend a few months of home mortgage on one intercontinental plane ticket.
