Ladies and Gentlemen, board your airplanes!

So today Aaron and I flew to China, no big deal. My mom drove us to Sea-Tac and we checked in at Hainan Airlines. Let's just say that Hainan has just earned a VERY loyal customer. Upon checking in we were informed that we had been upgraded to first class. What they basically did is say, "Hey have this $4,000 free voucher and fly on us." So instead of sitting ten hours with people coughing on us, and eating rice porridge, we sat in perfect sanitation while sipping apple juice that was brought on rounds. Needless to say it was a good experience, and before we had even taken off, Aaron said to me, "if we had money, we'd fly like this everywhere;" good thing we're poor college kids otherwise we might go crazy with first class tickets to nowhere.
I've never flown first class before, so this was a brand new experience. I had so much fun looking at all the stuff in first class, that I already kind of felt like a tourist; which to be honest was a little sad since the airplane was still on the runway. Another thing about flying first class, you board before everyone else; it was kind of an uncomfortable time in my life. I know that the airline people are trying to make our experience all nice because we paid extra money to sit in chairs that morph into beds. But in the front of my mind I wished we boarded last. My instincts were telling me that all the people walking past us into economy seating were secretly judging us. Like, "Not only do you have to go to China, but you have to go the most expensive way possible. And make us walk past you while you drink your dainty glasses of apple juice." Oh well, you only live once.
