Reasons to fly first class

Listen I know its pricey but there are a few things you need you know before you turn your nose up at this post. Now yes I fly first class but I do not travel often and I book my trips waaaaayyyy in advance so they are cheaper and by the time I leave for the trip its paid for (its paid for cause i’m smart and fucking pay it off its not by magic fyi.).

Also, if the flight is under 3 hours and jet blue goes to said destination direct I will fly jet blue.

So don’t judge me. Thats my job.

Anyhooo I digress. Reasons to fly first class.... here we go:

1- you do not get charged for extra checked luggage
2- if your checked luggage is over 70lbs you don’t get charged
3- Sometimes first class gets its own security line
4- First class lounge
5- You board first and get off first
6- Your checked luggage usually comes off first
7- Your own bathroom
8- wide comfortable seats
9- Constant drinks and food

You do not pay extra for any of these amenities listed above. You of course pay for them when you buy your ticket. But as we all know from riding in coach its worth it. If for any reason you are not getting the above treatment well then your probably pissing people off - people as in ALL the airline employees. People that fly first class do have the power to be bitchy but if you don’t it goes a long way. A few please’s, thank you’s and smiles and they will look the other way when your piss ass drunk or pretty much let you do whatever you want.

Case in point:

I Flew from San Jose to NYC today. When I checked in I was told my bag was over the required 70 (it was 74 - I bought about 15 lbs in clothes in Santa Cruz) but that was ok since I was first class. My luggage also got the “priority sticker” when I asked what that was I was told it was because I was in first class. (score!). When I flew from Charlotte to San Jose (people please! I am not from Charlotte I was just visiting there - family and 24 year olds) there was the first class only security line. And right now as I write this I am full on a Cobb salad, heated roll a really good fucking brownie with oreo’s baked into it on top and 2 glasses of wine.

My goal is to get another brownie and 2 more glasses of wine. Even though my tummy hurts (i’m pretty fucking full!). Fuck it I paid a shitload for this airfare. Gotta get my money’s worth. Well....maybe just more wine. I’ll take the brownie to go.
