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!

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
.
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
.

.Mind you, once I win the Euromilliions, ask me again


.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

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)
