C'est la vie
Fly first class just once
Have a flat to ourselves with more than one room
Qualify as a nurse
Get married

*sigh*

Im afraid
if you want to fly first class, you will have to have a flat with one room, get a better paid job, stay single.

All this for 8 hours of being able to lie down.

I flew business class once. I wish I hadn't.
A couple of years ago I scored a business-class ticket to Spain for less than the typical cattle-class fare to the USA.

The seats were comfortable, the stewardesses were courteous, the food was edible, and the whole experience was so much more pleasant than that offered to the cheapskate vermin in the back of the bus. The next time I flew to Yankistan I priced up a business-class ticket, winced, and returned to my former status as a cheapskate vermin in the back of the bus.

Having learned what flying is like for decent, civilised people, I'm profoundly envious of them. I can't afford to fly across the Atlantic at the front of the bus, and probably never will, so I'm doomed to spend the rest of my flying life in steerage.

I agree
Luckily (or rather unluckily) I was on my way to Dubai and had to be diverted, sending a 7 hr flight into a 10 hr one. Luckily I was on the business class side of the dividing curtain. I was also allowed off first too.

Its pretty much the same
As flying business, its just your bed is bigger and duvet fluffier.

(I only get first when I get a free upgrade btw, not all the time)

This could describe marriage, too

Another advantage of being up at the front of the plane
is that if it crashes into a mountain, you'll be killed a few milliseconds quicker, and so suffer proportionately less.

There is however a better chance of survival in the tail section.

I once got an upgrade to first class
on a Varig flight from Brazil to Uruguay. Me and a collegue were flying together. We were the only two people in the cabin - hence I suppose the upgrade.

I wanted one of those spiffy bags of goodies they give out, but my collegue wasn't bothered. Hatching a cunning plan, I said to the steward I had forgotten my toothbrush, could he sort me something out.

'Of course sir, let me see what I can find', he said. I looked smugly at my collegue, in the safe knowledge that I would shortly receive a smart Pierre cardin leather necessaire, brimming with expensive perfumes, lush soap, soft socks and all manner of other luxury goods. Collegue looked mildy disgruntled at missing out on this bonanza, which only made me smugger.

5 minutes later the steward comes back, and accompnaied by quiet chortles from my collegue, gives me a shitty little toothbrush, and a 5ml tube of chinese toothpaste.

Cunt.
