Aeroflot where they still hire and fire based on looks.

But I believe they only go up to business class.

I’d love to fly Emirates first class or one of it’s sister airlines with my wife before we die. I marvel at the pictures I see of it. Compared to the reality of the sardine can experience on American carriers it seems like another world.

Not a single US carrier.....

I’m flying Cathay Pacific first class in January. Really looking forward to it.

How about when Southwest had stewardesses who looked like this, lol?

I’m flying cattle to St. Louis in a couple of weeks. Been a few years since last I flew but I’m really looking forward to the champagne and the caviar. Well, OK, I’m hoping if the stews have a windup like Juan Marichal I’ll be able to catch a sack of mustard pretzels in my teeth...

I saw a first class seat once when the flight attendant got a little sloppy with screening curtain.

Not a single US carrier.....

American carriers where a surly battleaxe threatens even paying 1st class passengers...

[Larry Lucido]

This airline seemed to get it right.

I’ve just taken my first flight in 5 years recently, so I’ve been obsessed with airport documentaries and stuff about 1st class flying.

Just amazing the options that are out there if you have the cash. Accommodations like Emirates would get me to travel a lot more, although I would still prefer domestic carriers and I can only deal with domestic destinations.

But that type of comfort on a cross-country flight? Oh yeah!

The cabin is so elegant, and rather than offering suites with doors, they instead have curtains you can pull around your suite.

Kinda like those hospital curtains that go around the bed so the nurses can insert a catheter in semi-privacy.

Jet Blues, Spirit, US Air did not make the cut.

Have you seen this commercial? It’s a perfect match to what you just said!

but the cabins are elegant (in a German way),

I think this means you can eat off the floors (in a German way) and not injest a single bacterial organism.

That bed and seat belt on the Swiss Air reminds me of my last visit to the cath lab.

My sister and her kids have flown them a few times and speak very highly of them.

their dine on demand menu with all kinds of great options (including caviar).

Can you substitute a hamburger instead of the tofu without an upcharge?

If ain’t Boeing, I ain’t going.

(But I do like Douglas planes, too).
