Flying is a lot more pleasant when one pays for premium class. You don't arrive any sooner than the rest of the aircraft but the flight certainly feels shorter. You're in the same metal tube as everyone else but you've got claim to a larger space within it. The food and drink may not be great (US airlines) but they're at least good enough to get the job done.

And a scuzz like Beetlejuice is much more likely to be sitting back in coach that up front in C or F.
