A semi-hypothetical question.

Given that a First Class seat is worth 'something more', how much more
is it worth to you on:

a 5 hour flight?
10 hours?
15 hours?

A seat twice the size is worth twice the fare.

Yes, if you think linearly.

If two cars are the same size, are they also worth the same?

The point that I am making (in fact made) is that, personally, the only
thing that I'm prepared to pay extra for on a plane is extra space.

I am not prepared to pay extra for the "extras" that come with upgrading.
Not because they don't add anything to the cost, but because they add no
value to me for the journey.


I know what you mean, but folks were more focused on the linear
suggestion
about "twice the space is twice as much". Most of us don't have that
kind of
linear scale. Also, I enjoy the "wide" more than the long (although I
enjoy the
extra leg room). So I'm typically only gettin about 30% more width.
I do suspect
though that the square footage consumed is about twice though.

The other aspects do have value, but not much. It's nicer
typically
being in BC. The travelers tend to be more experienced, a bit calmer,
and a bit quieter. It's an overall lower stress level up there. But
we aren't
talking whole integer multiples so it only has some much real
multiplicitive
value.
