I just got back from South America and was spoiled on my flights. I don't know how I'm going to fly again. Because I'm awesome (or because I have frequent flier miles), two of my three flights down to Peru my seats were in first class. I don't know remember being able to pick my seats in first class, but I got upgraded. It was great. But the real treat came yesterday on my way home. On my flight from Lima to Atlanta, I was originally seated back in coach (an outrage, I know). As I was waiting for the flight, my name was called, and when I went to the gate, they told me I had been upgraded. Business class. I'm sure the people thought I was trying to cut in line when I went to the first class boarding area. And I know they were judging me based on my appearance as I walked into first class. I had on dirty jeans (we had no laundry out in the village), a tshirt I had worn twice without washing (again, no laundry facilities), and a zip up hoodie. Not exactly business class attire. Add to that my carry-ons that consisted of a dusty duffel bag, camping mat and camelbak and I certainly looked out of place. Oh well. Anyway, the flight was heavenly. Great food (or maybe I was just really hungry) and I had the best night sleep ever on a plane.
It's going to be hard to go back to coach.

TWICE? You wore a t-shirt TWICE?
Its almost like you have no idea how poorly you are treated in coach until you sit in first class. They might as well call it the lower class seats.
It will be impossible to go back
