Next time you want to shell out money for a 1st class ticket, DON'T. I went first class last week cross country. I got a 1/2 of a turkey sandwich, a small salad and a bag of miniature lemon cookies. When I asked for the "other" half of the sandwich, my request was denied! 1st class is not what it used to be...not by a longshot. (I didn't pay, I used frequent flier miles...I consider it a big waste now).
Everybody is making a big deal about 1st class. We dont' know that they bought the tickets. They could have been a gift... OR... for those of us who travel on business a lot.. we know they could have been upgraded by Continental based on frequent flier miles.
I'll tell you a story. A friend and I were flying back from Miami at night on the red eye. They gave us our dinners, some kind of Chicken mess and my friends plate was broken. Whe he pointed it out they said they didnt have any more chicken crap so he would have to eat a steak they had left over from first class. So back then it wasnt so bad,.
Maybe they looked over your first class ticke and found you bought it with frequent flyer miles and gave you the turkey. One good thing its hard to screw up a turkey sandwich so it isnt fit to eat.
I checked first class prices once and it was three times the cost of the regular flight , I thought that was pretty high and decided not to go that way. By the way if you really want to get ripped off try buying a train ticket, then you will see why passenger service is dying in the US.
Actually you were fed enough.
Try tasting food and not eating it.
If you are sitting on a plane you don't need fuel in your body unless your flapping your wings all the way.
BTW I have not flown in a decade but they used to give us hot towels and they did chair arobics before we landed. Do they still do that?
A couple of years ago I was seated on a plane next to a woman who had been a stewardess in the 1960's and 70's. She told me that she used to serve multi-course gourmet meals. Looking down at the box lunches from our flight, she said: "It's a sad world we live in now."
