First Class vs. Coach
I’ve traveled quite a bit lately. Domestic flights. And I love to travel and the reasons for traveling! It’s always to see great people, places or things.
I was on a five hour flight a couple of days ago seated in coach class. Center seat at the back of the plane. That is a LONG time for a long-legged person to sit in that confined of a space. My knees touch the back of the seat in front of mine BEFORE that passenger decides to recline. And there are plenty of people taller than me (5′8″) and with longer legs, so I realize that I don’t have it as bad as many. I’m not saying that there is anything wrong with coach. That is currently what I choose to reserve when I book my flights.
As I was wriggling and trying to get comfortable, I thought to myself “Someday, I will be automatically booking my tickets in first class.” My very next thought was, “That is shallow and materialistic.”
Although my brain went straight to “shallow and materialistic”, it’s not true. That is just where my mind goes. There is nothing shallow or wrong with wanting to be comfortable on a five hour flight! Funny how automatic and sometimes ridiculous our thoughts are, huh?
The truth is…
I absolutely will be booking first class travel.
And then my seat will look like this…
Or maybe even this:)…
I don’t know when it will happen, but I do know that it will.
