VIP to skip the lines

Here is a good example of getting what you pay for. I just flew to Israel and back for business. My company always flies us first class/business elite when traveling to Asia, Africa, Australia or the Middle East due to the extended travel times and the fact we pretty much go to work as soon as we arrive and work long days until we depart for home. Everytime I travel this way, there are people who give you dirty looks or make nasty comments about how "they get to board first", or "they get a hot meal and we don't" or "they get free drinks and we have to pay", etc. BUT, what they forget to realize is, the tickets for first class/business elite run $6,500 each, while the coach seats are about $1,200 each. If not for the people up front, the airlines would all go bankrupt pretty quick.
If you want a Lexus, you have to pay for a Lexus. If you are not willing to work for a Lexus, you get a Chevy instead.
