Have you ever travelled first class. What was the experience like?

Noting that I've flown more than a million miles, mostly on business, I have occasionally flown in first class. The seat is bigger, it's quieter, the food is better, and the flight attendants take better care of you. All of those are nice, but the best part is that you get to board and deboard before everyone else.

I prefer business class on long international flights over first class. It's cheaper, the service and amenities are just as good, and everyone on the plane is going to the same place.

underwhelming, in most cases.

Really so you don't think it's worth it then

A couple times with domestic flights. You just get a larger chair and a thin blanket. I’d never pay for it.

I’ve flown internationally business class (there was no first class). Sooo comfortable and worth it. I feel like it’s only worth it if you’re flying internationally.

Long range flight from EU to Eastern Asia. It wasn't worth 2k USD more than business class ticket. Short range flights inside Europe don't have real first class, even from Moscow to Lisbon it's just 3 hours flight

Just once. It was a long time ago and I was working in Florida. I had lunch at a restaurant before myself and the guy I worked with got on the plane. I forget why, but somehow we were bumped to first class. I think I may have gotten food poisoning from that shitty place we ate lunch in. It was a champagne flight. The guy I was with was able to take advantage of it but I was really sick at that point and just wrapped myself in a blanket and tried to keep from puking.

The funny thing is that I walked off the plane still wrapped in the blanket and still have it. It has a big Delta Air Lines logo on it.

If you need to change planes. You get to deplane first. Two seats or one seat instead of three across. Depending upon plane size. Drinks, snacks and a box meal on longer flights. Movies on some flights. Little more leg room. But if the person in front of you has to recline their seat. They can take a lot of your space.
I flew on one plane that had individual compartments for each passenger and a seat that reclined into a bed! In first class. If traveling with a partner. Sometimes buying three seats in the same row. Of course. In business class. Is less expensive and gives you some extra room.

My best 1st class experience: Singapore Airlines' luxury suite

Desperately desiring to join the "Mile High Club", this was the best way to do it.

It's like riding in our Class A luxury motorhome with somebody else driving for us.

[CubaPirate]

I've done business class once. It was great. My ankles swell when I travel over 10 hours, so it was nice stretching my legs out.

If I travel 5 or less hours I go in Premium Economy.

Save your money as much as you can and go Premium Economy.

You still get better leg room and food.

No, but i was upgraded to comfortable plus class on Delta for an hr and a half flight. That was awesome, I felt like it was over before it was even started!

[Nikki1989]

Yes, but considering how much extra it costs, it is really not worth the extra expense.

[normalice]

Yeah. It's more comfortable for longer flights but if it's shorter than four hours or so it's not worth it.

Internationally and paid by the company. Was so good I’d do it all the time if i could afford it

[nawtee_me]

I usually lay back and sleep during the flight…
