It's truly amazing how cheap flying has gotten. I flew SEA-LHR for $408 roundtrip on a BA 747 in the cheap fuel days of the early 2000s.
I had never flown anything other than coach before, but I was lucky enough to find a cheap-with-miles business class seat to Europe this summer when I had a break between jobs. I got to fly UA58 SFO-FRA, top deck, mere months before United retires the 747. It was truly an experience; it feels like a private plane up there with only a couple dozen passengers (and more than enough lavatories, no lines!)
