Upper management has their own offices. Of course they don't understand what open offices are like. It's like planes, they only suck if you're in economy class, first and business are great. Why would you want to fly faster when you have an actual bed?

It's interesting that you make that comparison.

I hate flying. Never flew 1st class but have flown business class a few times. It helps very much for sure. There's no comparison between peasant class and business.

That said, it's still a crappy experience for me. There's the commute to and from the airport. There's the waiting, which is not good even if you have access to good lounges. There's more waiting, sometimes for many hours, if you're making connections. Finally, and the worst of all for me, there's noise, crappy toilets and especially the low pressure in the cabin which makes everything in my body ache.

My own office would be a clear and obvious improvement over a shared seat in an open plan. It would still not be anywhere near as good as my home office.

Fly first and report back. The rest of it is because you're still in the peasant launge. First class even gets its own passport queue.

I never really had an issue with passport queues. Most airports I travel through have automated gates and it takes literally seconds to get through. When there's a queue, it's usually no more than 1-5 people getting through 5-10 gates so it takes no time at all.

Changing class won't make any of the issues I pointed out better, with the possible exception of the toilets.
