Flying First Class

Last Friday, I had the pleasure of flying first class for the first time ever. Here’s what I learned:

When you fly First Class you get:

• Your own bathroom
• A table cloth
• A hot towel with which to refresh yourself
• Free lunch
• Drinks while the rest of the plane boards
• Leg room
• Early boarding
• No danger of the person in front of you closing your laptop by leaning their seat back
• Did I mention no line at the bathroom?
• Lunch is important
• Real glass glasses – no clear Solo cups
• An arm rest, even if the person next to you hogs his or hers
• Coffee with cream already stirred in
• A cup holder that’s not on the tray table, so you can fold the tray table up and not dump your drink.

What you don’t get in First Class:

• Freedom from crying children (although they are further away)
• Self-flushing toilets
• A hot shower
• Towel animals (I need to go on another cruise)
• Free Internet
• Faster flights
• Finer upholstery (unless you count the table cloth)
• Fresh, untattered magazines.

So this is what I’ve learned about traveling in the first class cabin on a plane. I hope you found this post interesting and informative. Please let me know if I’ve left off anything important.
