Salutations!
Welcome and thank you for visiting. Feel free to share your thoughts by leaving a note. Please be kind and respectful. I bruise easily.
As my inner socialist cries foul, I must acknowledge that getting upgraded to Business Class on our two-legged 20-hour journey certainly was nice. (Yeah,
mileage plus points!) It's so true what they say..."once you experience the 160-degree recliner seats and elevated foot rest, it's tough to go back." (Okay, maybe no one has said it yet, so I'm claiming it.) Some of the perks we enjoyed in this more spacious setting:
- Legroom, legroom, legroom!
- Welcome pouch of goodies, including practical travel items like ear plugs, sleep mask, lotion, toothbrush and toothpaste, and a pair of bathroom slippers.
- Tasty menu designed by world renowned chefs like Charlie Trotter.
- Mid-flight on-demand snacks, like warm peanuts, Ghiradelli chocolates, and cup-o-noodles.
- Roaming flight attendants who kept our glasses of water bottomless.
I propose a more age-based (vs. economically-based) status-class structure. How 'bout... Everyone over the age of 35 should always be assigned a Business Class ticket; and First Class tickets should be reserved for the grey hairs (say, 60 or older), out of respect. Yup, this 36-year old would certainly vote for that.

I love children. And I like the age-based proposal. But I would add that those traveling with babies (who invariably cry due to the fact their auditory canals are simply not yet adequately developed to allow them to clear their ears), and children (sadly, most of whom today are ill-raised and ill-mannered) must travel in a separate, sound-proof cabin regardless on the parent's age...
as the capitalist pig in the family, i vote no on your proposal :) -a
