Little did we know when we checked in this morning that participating in the medical emergency aboard our last flight earned us upgrades to the First Class cabin. While we would have appreciated free round trip tickets instead, flying First Class was nevertheless a novel experience for us. But aside from the priority boarding, larger seats, free food, and after-dinner sundaes, it was really nothing to brag about. Sure we had warm nuts, hot towels, table linens, and dinner served on porcelain plates with metal utensils and real glasses, but the lasagna was no better than your average cafeteria food. We didn’t take full advantage of the beverage service either since neither of us drink alcohol. Since the plane was small, we also didn’t have the private screens, noise-cancelling headsets or 180 degree reclining seats that the airline advertises. Although it was an interesting flight for cheap bums like us, I doubt we will ever shell out the dough to experience it again.
