Help! I have an addiction to First Class
 

Since I was lucky enough to get an op up to F on a flight a couple of years ago, I have not been able to comfortably fly any other way with EK. If I have to fly in J I always get very jealous of people turning left.

Is this normal, should I get help? I mean seriously, EK J product is amazing, really, much better than most F products, but I still end up with nervous times biting my nails feeling I should be ‘up front’. Luckily I have the budget for this addiction, but when flying with colleagues I fly in J for long haul, and the ‘superiority complex’ kicks in.

I do however, relish every moment of the journey in F, fully appreciate I am a very lucky individual to be able to travel in this way.

PLEASE NOTE: this is a bit of a joke post, but I do really think I am addicted to EK F!

Paging m3red...

You have more than 10 posts on Flyertalk, you automatically belong in the club of people who need help, no matter what airline and travel class you fly in!

You sound like Mrs EK004

^ :D

I can relate, I may have to do a j leg to sin later this month "shudder".

Whilst I can afford it it's not a problem....

:D

Some of us are beyond help - get out now whilst you still can!! (and your post count is below 4 figures!)

I am a regular Y flyer (usually OW). My first ever flight on EK was July last year and booked in Y by my company. I shuddered at the thought and paid the difference for J class.

Have been happily doing this until March of this year and have found the J class on EK quite acceptable until I had enough miles for a one leg upgrade to First..............Slippery, slippery slope :eek:.

Getting quite excited about my F flights in three weeks time but know I'm literally going to come down to earth with a big bump when I land in GLA as I know that won't happen again for a long, long time :(.

I may need counselling :D.

It's just human nature right? You fly y and you are happy to be going from a to b... You fly j and you enjoy travelling and a few drinks and comfort, you then go f and you like the exclusivity and privacy, dine on demand, fine wine etc then you want to go private....

^:D

Ah well, you see now, done the private jet thing a few years ago (albeit work related) and it just didn't float my boat so to say. I am of the 'bigger the plane the better' brigade and regardless of work or pleasure, commercial travel ticks the boxes for me (preferably in J or F) :D.

Mind you, once I win the Euromilliions, ask me again :p:D:cool:.

But if it was a private plane, wouldn't mind this one (without the current owner):


That's about as small a private jet as I would like ;).

does not a sheikh/ruler in Oman or so, have an A380 as a privat jet? Upper deck with Spa and so on... Gold of course :D

Anyone else reminded of the "Weed is not a drug" scene from Half Baked????

Welcome EK004 Regular admitting your addiction is the first step :p

Now that's just showing off....
