Remember when flying somewhere, dining at a nice restaurant or opening a bottle of Champagne felt like a big occasion?

Things that once seemed luxurious have become part of everyday life. But as our expectations change, what actually counts as luxury anymore?

From fine dining and five-star hotels to Rolex watches, private jets and $350 bottles of Champagne at lunch, TK and Pete look at how our idea of luxury has evolved — and why higher prices don't always mean better experiences.

There's also childhood nostalgia, Milo versus Quik, four-litre wine casks, old Brisbane restaurant menus and the growing value of something money can't always buy: time.

Plus, Pete somehow manages to score 14 on a par four.

Maybe the greatest luxury these days is simply finding time to enjoy it all.
