World Travellers

Jawahn Thompson our expert of the day, writes:

Imagine it’s your first time ever in first class on an airplane. You’ve used a combination of frequent flyer miles from your spouse’s business travels and points earned through a rewards program with your credit card to book the two of you on a nonstop flight to a romantic destination for the weekend. You’re excited about your first time in first class having enough room to be comfortable and getting the extra perks that come along with the prestigious seating.

as the flight attendant walks by for the first time you ask him, “Excuse me, do you have any magazine’s I can look at.” He turns and says, “I’m sorry. Haven’t you heard about 9/11, airlines in bankruptcy, employee layoffs, overworked flight attendants? Of Course, we don’t have any magazines. You should have brought your own.” You think to yourself, “But I thought I was in first class. I thought I’d get waited on hand and foot.” Then your spouse, who is a very frequent air traveler, lets you know that first class isn’t what it used to be.
