First Class Flyer is a must-read
Entrepreneur Magazine
First Class Flyer carries no ads and contains no advertorials.
You will never read a disclosure.
We accept no free flights, no largesse, not even smallesse.
No airline or credit card we mention ever pays us a cent (some might want to sue us).
The downside of this independence is that we cannot provide our intellectual property to readers for free.
The upside is that it’s free of bias.
Free of bias beats free, for those who value peace of mind.
