Not everyone on hackernews is paid SV salaries?

That plus flights from Australia are expensive enough in economy, business class is easily 4-10x that cost.

Aren't there any airlines traveling to and from Australia that offer something midway in between sardine and business class?

  • Premium economy is a thing, but debatable on the sardine thing.

    Basically closer to "old economy", where you have leg room and real utensils

  • Qantas offer premium economy, about 39” leg room and a few extra inches of width.

    If I travel long haul personally I will always go business, booked wel in advance. It’s rare enough that the extra cost is worthwhile. Others spend the money on fancy cars instead.
