When you show your boading pass to the attendant greeting people at the 2L door and he immediately escorts you to your seat and as you sit down he says, "Welcome to first class." (SQ11)

When you recognize a "D" list celebrity across the aisle, and not a soul in the cabin tries for an autograph.

When my seat-mate discretely asks me if I'm a FAM.

...when a uniformed agent holding a placard sporting your name meets your delayed flight and escorts you through immigration, customs, security at the domestic terminal and stands there until you're handed your connecting boarding pass by the gate agent.

Thank you, ANA.

Some of us have had that experience flying in other classes, not just F

When the guy next to you sits down and within 3 minutes throws a fit like a two year old because the FA has not yet come over to take his $20 coat to the coat closet or offered him a drink.

When upon rising from your slumber in your flat bed seat with duvet and pajamas the FA is standing over you (gorgeous Asian) immediately asking if there is anything you need.

When you walk down the jet bridge and you see that your aircraft is painted in green and white.

When you board the airplane and discover the whole plane has only 6 luxurious seats and one FA - and the pilot comes out to personally explain the flight

When just at 38 thousand feet the pilot announces You will soon feel a small jolt as I turn on the afterburners so we can ascend to our cruising altitude of 50 thousand feet and Mach 2

When you open your mileage statement and see that every last accrued air mile was used up for that one seat in F.

When everyone is ignoring the FA safety announcement to shut off electronic devices because they are soooo important they just HAVE to be on the cell phones and blackberries (crackberries) every free minute of the day.

When an attractive FA comes over and calls you by name asking what youd like for dinner

When your seatmate is Ed McMahon

When you arrive late for checkin and the gate agent carries your bag and whisks you thru security and immigration and walks you all the way to your seat

When you cannot decide on entrees and the FA brings you both without asking

When you see the NBC reporter To catch a predator seated in what was your upgraded seat.

When the champagne never ends nor the sunrise delights!


LUV this thread how fun ^

When the back curtains of the F-cabin are closed off so you can disembark from the airplane before anyone else.

Thank you SQ!

When this happens -
Early in the flight:

There were only three pax in F headed up by a very nice purser named Jem. I mentioned to her that there was 1 FA for each of us. She said No three for you Mr Moomba.

Later in the flight:

The crew were amazingly attentive and at one point all three were either taking plates away, filling water or filling champagne and the head purser said see all three just for you.
When there are more FA's working the cabin than there are passengers.

From my recent TR (blatant plug)

When it only took 3 to 3 and a half hours to get from London to New York!!!
Also when you could see the curves of the earth!!!!!!

Ahhhhhh, good days of the Concorde.

By the way I was being sarcastic about getting nicer pajamas on board, then at home. :-) (I have a weird sence of humor!)
