After 3 years of saving one of my work share plans is due out in a couple of weeks and this is the perfect opportunity for me to treat myself……so what could I possibly do with these extra pennies? There is the obvious answer of course which would be a little holiday (however it wouldn’t be that much so it would only be a quick hop across the channel or under it as I don’t do boats)

So for the purpose of research I thought I would go and price up a cheeky trip to Florida later in the year which included – 10 days at Port Orleans, quick service dining, park tickets, transfers (nope couldn’t persuade the bloke to drive) and the V room

I only priced it up with Virgin (as we get a small discount) and for the 2 of us it was about £4,000; I know that sounds like a lot of money for a holiday but as things go considering Disney is my only vice (oh and Earl of Sandwich brownies) although I think it’s overpriced it’s money I would consider spending

Then the bloke gets in on my “research” and says if you had the money why don’t we come home Upper Class……oh my goodness UPPER CLASS (this man is supposed to be the voice of reason at the moment and here he is acting like he’s won the lottery – or just being himself!)

And what’s even worse I went along with it and updated the search…..as I pressed the button the cost of the holiday went up by £4,500; yes you did read that right a £4,500 upgrade charge (and just in case you were thinking wow what a bargain obviously it must be because when I did the pricing up again just to make sure my numbers were right the price has gone up by another £2,000 😳😳😳😳)

I have absolutely no idea what can justify that price, I know your seat turns itself into a bed but you could give me a bit of floor space and a duvet and return £4,490 of that money as there is no way that is worth it.  I have been asking James for a Tiffany ring for about a month (I don’t want much) and instead of paying £4,500 to sit our backsides in an upper class seat for 9 hours I could get me some serious bling that would last me a lifetime! (are you listening Bungle?)

Now I’m not saying that for some people paying for an upgrade isn’t worth the money as each to their own and after all we have flown Premium Economy a couple of times but when you think what you could spend the money on instead it really does make you think

So, is an upgrade worth the money – I can’t honestly say yes or no; my only advice is research it properly – see if your airline has special offer dates when upgrades maybe cheaper as last year someone managed to bag an upper class upgrade for less than the cost of an upgrade to premium economy

Im off to fawn over the pretty shiny rings, might even take a few pictures and leave them laying around as hints 😀xxx
