Well, I did it. I bought a 1st class airline ticket.

I usually don't have a probelm with ignorant little pissants like you. I just keep my arms over my head and enjoy watching your little punny twig arms try and plug your nose while every one else on the plane laughs at you for being an ass. I'm quite obnoxious about it to whenever a twerp like you gives me any attitude in person.

That's really BS. An airline who's smart will not give a shit about a change to an upgrade on an airline ticket. I mean, they're gonna make more money and they'd turn your away? Whichever airline that is was being stupid, or the teller you had was just being a bitch :-)

now, where did i put my popcorn...?

If you really want to network hop on the Concorde.

On commercial business class you usually make some good contacts also.

Northwest air - they told me that I had some sort of super discount ticket and that it couldn't be upgraded. I thought it was total bullshit but that's what they said.

You have a few ICQ messages from me talking about it. Don't want to put the others to sleep about it.

Nothing glamourous, wish it was though.

I'm trying to do that this December as my ticket home is coach.

However when I go back to Hawai'i it's first class and only cost $1200!

Thats my ploy too. All you have to do is fly at times & days when the 1st class section isn't going to be booked. Last 3 times I've gone to Vegas I've been able to upgrade to 1st at the airport for less than $50.

the concorde is the most amazing plane i've ever been on. my dad has always been obsessed with jets, and always wanted to go supersonic. so we went on a 3 hour flight to no where (ended up in the same place we took off from).

very cool. very expensive

what are the times and days that the 1st class section isn't busy?

what did it cost?


I'm such a cheap bastard that i always stuff my parents into economy when i buy them tickets. I'm even sending them a day earlier to vegas than me cause it was cheaper that day.

(my mom works for me and she wants to come to the party)

My last flight was a monday evening redeye from Seattle to SFO. There were 6 passengers on the plane including myself.

So I take redeyes alot of the time. Also, it just happens that I prefer Vegas & Hawaii in the off seasons... and I always do working vacations in Vegas during the week so I can stay longer for the same $$

Haven't flown alot lately tho. Last time I rented a convertible mustang and drove to Vegas from the Bay Area. 9 hours from my doorstep to the Mandalay Bay lobby.

How are Friday's?

reno air was pretty cool about this. i dunno if they still do it.

when i was flying to the bay area once (from seattle) i had a seat way in the back. reno has this deal where, if there's room at the time of the flight, you pay $30 and you can get a first class seat.

that's the one and only time i've flown first class. oh, and i'm seriously cheap about hotels thanks to priceline. (i pay less than 25% hotel list prices).

First class used to be worth it, but since last fall the asinine attitude of most flight crews on US airlines doesn't justify it. The ones that do serve food serve the crap they used to have in coach as well.

Just like my little Vegas hotel rant I have some airline preferences lol...

Continental is good in both coach and first -- so is Air Canada. USAirways used to be great, but I havent lived on the east coast in a long time so I dunno any more.

American sucks ass and I'd rather fly on sorry ass America Worst than take AA out of DFW (oh wait, did that today...)

KLM just plain blows, I don't care for them at all, I'd rather swim to Holland if that was the choice. I have heard horror stories about Northwest, but never needed to fly them.

Delta is still pretty cool, they put my kid in first class for one leg of a flight last month where he was traveling alone, so he really likes them.

Southwest, for flights of an hour and a half or less rock pretty much, unless it's Phoenix to Vegas on Friday afternoon when the drunks are on board... you get on the plane, find a fucking seat and then you go. Cheaply.

For long flights, first class is still the best - not for the amenities but for the legroom and the recline angle on the seats.

I want to take the Concorde to Europe, that is my idea of a fun flight. I also want to try Qantas and Virgin Atlantic since I've heard good things about both.

And the kicker, I finally get to book a flight to Vegas on National, home of the really cheap first class upgrades and they stop flying two days later lol ;)
