But many of us would rather have cheap airfare than expensive travel, even if the legroom is better. That’s why we mostly don’t buy first-class tickets as it is. They’re just not worth it.

Whatever we do to make travel better, it won’t make it “classy” unless oil prices go so high that air travel is for the few and the very few.

The market changes constantly. And the styles of things like travel, are now driven by price. You get what the market chooses.
Travel used to be comfortable, glamorous, even. But WE the consumer, prefer cheap. So that is what we are getting offered.
