First First Class Flight

Here’s what I have to say about first class. Free drinks! Granted my flight took off at 10:15 a.m. so I was on my best behavior. I only had one bloody mary. Seats were spacious, comfy and best of all- no one talks to you.


Normally when I fly coach, the people sitting next to me want to know my story. “Where are you from?” “What do you do for a living?” “Where is your final destination?” “What are your plans while you’re there?” I try and get my headphones in in time to avoid the small talk. But first class..... no one speaks. Ha! Ok by me.

Landed not too long ago in Washington Dulles Airport. I have about 5 hours until my flight leaves for Frankfurt. Im graciously flying with a companion pass which means i’m not guaranteed a seat. Last night, mom was checking the status of my flight and informed me that there was less than a 5% chance that I would get on board. So making it on the first flight out of Charlotte was a spirit lifter. Now lets keep fingers crossed the second leg of the trip goes just as smoothly!


Mom is scheduled to land in Frankfurt at 6:10 a.m. and I am scheduled to land at 7:10 a.m. But for now, I’m on bloody mary numero dos.
