What's so good about First Class anyway?

Why it's the buxom flight attendants, of course!

And the food.

I'm kidding - men work in First Class too!!! And honestly, there's more to it than that!

The real benefit of first class is the ability to sleep. Let's think about this for a second. When you travel, you can eat, watch movies, talk, read, explore various orifices on your head (or elsewhere as you prefer). However you can't sleep.

Sure, you could doze off, but with the constant din of the engines and the cramped quarters, god forbid an obese person next to you, who can really sleep!? Well, in first class, you can. It's been like that for many years now.

The biggest benefit of the true sleep that you can get is that it diminishes the effects of jet lag. I've tried long distance trips in coach and first, and there's a whole world of difference.

I traveled from Madras, India to Seattle on first in Singapore. Beautiful - I wished the flight were 10 hours longer.

I traveled coach from Newark to Bombay. I was beaten up and worn out at the end of that trip.

So it's expensive, and First Class passengers seem like snobs. However if you can afford it, it's the smart way to travel.

And the Dom Perignon really helps!
