Which pushes upgrading to a fully flexible ticket, it lists the benefits:

No fees when travel plans change,
Attentive service, luxurious surroundings,
First on, first off.

While i understand the no fee part.....does service really get better on a fully flexible ticket? do you really board any sooner then any of the other FC pax, do i now get my own line to stand in so i dont have to be with the other gate lice?? :P
Shell out another $50 and you will get "Even firster on, even firster off."

For another $100 you get "Most firstest on, most firstest off."
