So last night me and a friend went on a spur-of-the-moment trip to chicago, MSP-MDW. totally empty flight on a 320, me and companion upgrades clear instantly.
About 10 min before departure a mother and younger daughter board and take seats in 1C/D, guessing they bought the upgrade at the gate as they were pushing it for only $50. They were marveling at being in first, which i found very cute

The FAs did a great job of making them feel welcome, got them both Delta pins took coats talked and joked with them, offered them a drink and the mom leaped at the red wine. The mom takes a good couple minutes to figure out how the seat belts work (my first clue this isnt just a first time in first, but prob a first time flyer) She intently follows along with the safety briefing, studies the safety card. as the plane pushes back, she clasps her hands and starts praying, then crosses herself, then CHUGS the rest of the wine.
we taxi out with no one ahead of us, pilot punches it and she lets out an audible "oh lord" and digs her hands into the arm rests. We speed up for a min and then pull up, at which point she screams and buries her face in the magazine she is holding.
rest of the climb, cruse, and decent are uneventful until we land and when the brakes slam on she screams again.
This totally makes up for no AVOD

best in flight entertainment in years!!
