Our 'columnist' this month explains why they believe economy class reigns supreme over business class
Why business isn't better

Welcome, weary travellers and budget-conscious adventurers to the great debate: economy class vs business class. While many jet-setters may swear by the plush seats, gourmet meals and attentive service of business class, I'm here to make a bold declaration - economy class is, in fact, the superior choice for intrepid explorers and frugal flyers alike. Buckle up, dear readers, as we embark on a hilarious journey through the highs and lows of air travel.

Let's start with the elephant in the cabin - cost. While business class may offer the allure of Champagne wishes and caviar dreams, the price tag can be enough to send even the most seasoned traveller into sticker shock. Sure, you may get a few extra inches of legroom and a slightly fancier meal, but is it really worth the exorbitant price? I think not. After all, why spend a small fortune on a fleeting luxury when you could use that money to fund your next adventure - or better yet, a lifetime supply of budget-friendly snacks?
