First Class.

I mentioned that on Tuesday I flew home from a visit with our friends Jeff and Mark in North Carolina. I was delighted to see on check in that I was upgraded to First Class on the second leg of the trip; IAH Houston to TUS Tucson on a Boeing 737-900. We shall disregard the gate agent who said my luggage was going to Tulsa. It didn’t.

It’s no secret that I enjoy flying First Class, even in the very first row in seat 1A with no storage in front of me, sitting next to an old broad who flipped on Fox News as soon as possible and would gasp every once in a while during her viewing experience with something called Gutfeld courtesy of DirecTV. I was thankful for her complimentary ear buds.

I opted for the chicken dish and a glass of sparkling wine for my dinner selection.

The mashed potatoes were bordering on soup, and the presentation was a little dicey, but as we bounced around the sky I ate my First Class meal and I was grateful for perks such as this.

You’re never in a place where you shouldn’t be grateful.

The old broad watching something called Gutfeld screamed COBB SALAD without taking out her ear buds when the flight attendant was taking our dinner requests. She also had some sparkling water.

Perhaps she needed a glass of sparkling wine to go with her ear buds.

Virtual Trek.

I’ve mentioned before that I really enjoy Will’s “Trek Trendy” travel channel on Youtube. In this video, Will visits seven continents in seven days. I hope you enjoy following along on his adventure as much as I did.

Lounging.

I have mentioned before that I enjoy watching others experience First Class and Premium Class passenger aviation via YouTube videos. Unfortunately I’m not flying enough for work these days to get the points I use to enjoy, so this is the next best thing.

I recently discovered this fairly new channel devoted to the topic. In this video, Fly Man Yann tries out several lounges available at his favorite airport.
