Moms and Dads with older children, time to treat yourself at least once. You have to get to say you flew first class just once in your lifetime. First, a first-class experience – and it is an experience – is well worth the extra cost for the luxury of discovering what it’s like to truly fly comfortably somewhere. Nothing can compare to having the stewardess wait graciously on you, cover your tray with a table cloth, pour you an endless supply of drinks and snacks, and enjoy real hot food. Imagine also getting to enjoy using real steel cutlery! How can that be? Yes, and you have get albeit a dull knife in which to spread your butter, but a real knife none the less. Every carrier has its own first-class experience to offer. After several different first-class trips, here are some nuances.
United – they serve warm nuts, put a table cloth on your tray table, and offer you an unlimited variety of drinks (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) and snacks and your choice of meals but no dessert. You will enjoy a damp, hot cloth to refresh with. The seats are broad, padded and comfortable. You do watch your movie on the LCD, drop-down screens and have no control over programming.
Hawaiian – they offer your own personal viewer and several choices of new or recent movies to watch from your seat. They also have a recliner with a inclined footrest that goes up only a short ways, but is nice to stretch out and sleep. They serve a menu of hot, five course meals and include dessert. You have your choice of limitless snacks and drinks (alcoholic or non-alcoholic).
U.S. Airways – they offer basic first-class with limitless drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) and a wide seat. They will offer you a hot towel for refreshment and a new movie to watch with everyone else. This first-class, though, is definitely no frills but adequate leg room and space.
