Quote from RaptorI got upgraded to business class once on KoreanAir, and they have this thing where both the window and aisle seats don't share the same path, so you can go to the bathroom either way without disturbing anyone.
I've flown first class a few times (the lucky times when I did something well enough to make my boss like me more than usual...or maybe he was that eager to ship me off to some other spot for a few days). Your own seat with NOBODY beside you...turns into an actual bed...huge touchscreen tv, great audio, free wine and actual cooked food. Then you got back to reality.
My boss once dragged me along (I am, after all, employed as his Assistant) to visit a new construction site that would be under his regional management. The head-honcho of our department was apparently flying my boss, so I got to ride in his fancy-schmancy private Learjet.
It was as awesome as the movies make it look. Like, guy had the hot stewardesses serving canapes and all.
We did the whole business thing, and I oogled the jet (and, yeah, it's contents).
Then I got out and walked to my Jeep with the mudsplatters on it parked in the back corner of the airport lot, sat in traffic for two hours because it was rush hour, and got the take-out special at my local chinese restaurant for dinner.
The feeling's great while you're in it, but the let-down after real life strikes back makes you feel like shit.
