I've only been on maybe 4 flights in my life and I think they've been all on spirit. first class was the four seats at the front of the plane so I didn't notice anything special there. everybody getting there at the same time anyways.

Used to work for American Eagle Airlines so I know a little about flying on American Airlines 1st Class.

The type of plane you're flying on matters as well.

I flew in a 737 for like 3 hours and it wasn't worth it, but that same distance in a 767 or Triple 7 :banderas:

Depends on the airline but usually.... Limo to the airport..... First class lounge in the airport...unlimited drinks... You can eat when you want.....bigger luggage allowance......never a queue at check-in

Most importantly......THE SEATS ARE COMFORTABLE ENOUGH TO SLEEP IN

If I ever fly coach for a personal trip again my has obviously not panned out correctly

Im using Delta as my example cause that's the airline I fly most outside of Virgin
Business Class >> 1st Class

Most domestic flights are in 2-Class configuration airplanes
I.E. Boeings 737, 757 Airbus a319, a320 and in your case any McDonald Douglass MD-Series airplane
These flights offer 1st Class and Coach
1st class domestically is never worth the ticket price
but most people in 1st class are flying it for free thru there business
1st class domestically will get you a bigger seat with more room
all amenities will be free as well as alcohol and meals
Example:
767-biz-seat.jpg


Now let me discuss Business Class
They are found on larger airplanes
I.E. Boeings 767, 777, 787, 747 Airbus A330 A340 A380
They are the premium seats in the 3-class system and are the shyt
While 1st class seats internationally will still be similar to domestic
Business class seats are arranged for most airlines as pods and feature 'lie flat seats'
72792a07-8655-4346-8a5b-da6a11ffe7a3.Full.jpg



This is the shyt

If you've flown Business Class on an international flight thats 8 or more hours
you'll never want to fly coach internationally again
POD style arrangements are amazing and the food is non-airline-like
imagine getting all you can eat prawns and alcohol

Simply amazing


So in conclusion
You could possibly afford a 1st class ticket
($2000 for SF-NY)
Aint no nikkas on this site flying business class and paying for it internationally
($10000+ SF-LON)
That's why having a good position at a great company with international connections is
:ohlawd:

and to add a lil more to this
We are starting to see charter airlines catch-up to regional and domestic carriers regarding luxery travel
Flying on a business jet is now affordable
They charge for the plane/gas
So for example
You can charter a flight from LA to SF for $5000 that fits 4 people
so in essence
for $1,250 a pop you can travel like an exec
be sure to take pictures and post it on social media to shyt on your friends

I flew first class from MD to Germany. The whole seat turned into a bed. I had my own little cubicle, a curtain, and the tv popped out. Now that I have to fly coach with the peons in the back, I feel cheated.

Flying first class on short flights is a waste.

I used to work for United...

I've flown first class like twice with my old company. It was domestic, so it was def overrated. U get a little more space, some actual food, but otherwise made no difference.
Now my boy was able to convert is air miles to a first class ticket on lusthunsa on the new 747-8 and the way he described it was. :ohlawd: He had 2 full meals, basically all u can drink wine. Noise canceling ear phones, and when he wanted to sleep the chair turned into a full bed and even had stewardess tuck him in:shaq:
He had a layover in Germany and the first class have their own terminal, which is basically a hotel with free food and drinks, showers, and a massage if u want it.

But if you want to experience this it costs over 10Gs at least :sadbron:

I've done first class on short domestic flights and that shyt was overrated for real. It's really a waste of time and money.

I wanna do business class on an international flight though, I know that shyt is :ohlawd:
