The History of future things to come?

A first-class ticket on the Titanic would cost approximately $XX,XXX today!

A first-class ticket on the Titanic would cost about $57,200 today!
Factoring in inflation, the $2,500 first-class tickets would be $57,200. The most expensive rooms on the ill-fated luxury liner would cost more than $103,000 now! 


On the plus side:

• You could get access to the swimming pool for only 25 cents! Even adjusting for inflation, it’s less than $6. 
• For 50 cents, or less than 12 inflation-adjusted dollars, you got access to the squash courts, and could play with a professional squash player! 
• You also got FREE access to the Titanic’s 60 chefs. 
• You even got the opportunity to see an iceberg up close for free! (too soon?) 

On the other hand:

• third-class passengers only had to pay 40 bucks, or $900 in modern currency (which is actually fairly comparable to the price of a flight from Southampton to New York right now). 
• Lower-class rooms often housed as many as ten passengers, but they were separated by gender so families had to be split up! 
• The 700 third-class passengers all had to share the same 2 bathtubs.
