(2,441 posts)Yeah, go figure. Military PCS orders, no less, for me, the ex, & 4 kids. Man, were WE spoiled! HUGE seats, private TVs, fantastic meals (with jellyfish, which we all love) - all the perks. Then, from Honolulu to San Diego - coach. What a frickin let-down. The kids were furious, & I wasn't too happy myself.
Then on a flight mix-up from Phoenix to MCI last year I got upgraded to first class - niiiice!! Free drinks, cookies, nice meal, etc. Wouldn't be worth the extra $s though, really. On a trans-ocean flight, perhaps - but I've flown Virgin Atlantic Dulles to London where the seats were half empty & it was almost like flying 1st class, really, also Rome to Dulles, Canada Air, same thing - so it's all a matter of timing & figuring out seating. SeatGuru really is a good site - check it out, check out your flight, & have fun - most important thing!! Cheers!!
