I recently flew in D1 on a 10 hour flight (roundtrip lucky me). I don't know what your wife expects. After the meal, there is a help yourself cart for snacks and there is at least one FA up there if you need something. Not to mention what seems like bi-hourly walk through handing out large water bottles. Then of course there is a second full service. Honestly, what else does she want? Should all the FAs be perpetually walking laps? To what end? Should they be handing out food every 30 minutes? Were call buttons not answered?

C'mon man, somebody paid $250 to go from LAX to MCO... they have every right to treat that airplane like a cheerios dumpster.

She/I merely was pointing out had she put out the 5 k for a seat, or had that hvc put out that money, they most likely would be disappointed...And I don’t think our competition has a consistency of service issue...

I don’t need to have my ego caressed, I treat everyone with kindness and respect, and appreciate it when it is returned, if deserved, but this kind woman really made me wish I could experience the glory days of flying around the world with a “Clipper” call sign, just for a week or two. My uncle has shared enough stories to make me really envious. But now I really want to live it. Just for a week. Is that too much to ask?

I just had an ex Pan Am Fa as the lead from MIA to LGA the other day. 88 years old...I know that because my 88 year old Uncle was a Pan Am Captain, and I mentioned it....and the kindest, best cabin crew member I’ve had in a long time. It was almost embarrassing to me that she treated me with such high regard.
