Fun. When broken up into specific aspects of travel, I realize how little value I place on extra comfort and how much I place on better logistics. I love direct flights. I love efficient boarding (JSX domestically is fantastic). I don't care endlessly about first class. If your butt is too big for a coach seat than put down the fork. I do like Swiss' first class cabin because it is so small and quiet. I can take my family on it, take up about 1/2 that cabin, and sit around a common table for dinner before sleeping on a flat bed. Worth the auction (and one often gets lucky with stink bids): https://www.swiss.com/es/en/book-and-manage/swiss-choice/upgrade-options/swiss-bid-upgrade

What about the inverse of this -- let's say I'm less than average height and don't mind at all if the person in front of me reclines -- can they pay ME, or can I get a cut, of the seat-recline fee? Let's say I'm a vegetarian, and those meals never run out, so it's not in my interest to bid on chicken -- maybe someone who wants chicken could pay ME to increase their chances.
