While you certainly need discipline and a plan, it definitely does not need to affect your FF/premium cabin habits. Unless you're flying in F every day or two and consuming ridiculous amounts of calories, you can still enjoy the typical F meal, even drinks, and still lose weight. Make sure you're keeping track of your eating habits somehow (Excel spreadsheet calorie counter or something similar).

You can always compensate on other days. It's a marathon, not a sprint.
Writing down what you eat is a very good habit - you might be surprised at what you are and are not eating (hidden sugar, missing nutrients) My fitness pal is free, and has a web-iphone/ipad with sync interface, a very large database of food.
