Sentence struture
Please advise what the sentence structure of the following sentences is:
1. I travel light.
Is it SV or SVC? Is light here an adverb modifying verb or an adjective served as a subject complement?
2. I fly first class.
Is it SV or SVO? Is first class here an adverb or a noun served as the object of fly?
Thank you for your attention.

I think they are both SVC (but C is used to signify an adverbial complement as well, I think). I think they both modify the clause 'I travel/fly'.
