11. Sometime in the 1990s I was flying with my two young sons from Kansas City

to Washington DC on USAir. The plane was supposed to stop in St. Louis, but they were fogged in so that stop was cancelled. Which left only five or six passengers boarding in KC all the way to DCA.

The first class flight attendant told the gate agent she wanted all of us put up front, and there was a bit of a delay while more first class meals were brought on board. We still arrived in DC about 30 minutes early.

My two sons were quite impressed. It was a great flight, and a lovely thing for the flight attendant to do. When the coach f/a's tried to help her, she shooed them back to the rear of the plane.
