For a one-time fee of $40, you can get a lifetime subscription to Dollar Flight Club’s Premium tier which grants you access to economy seating only. You can opt for the Premium Plus tier for $10 more where you’ll get special travel deals and low-cost fares for business, premium economy and economy airline tickets.
