Blogging My Life...Yesterday, as many of you know, I flew first class for the first time. It was a really nice flight, we took off on time, landed on time, quick to the gate, quick to exit (non-of that was due to 1st class). But the space, leg room, food, bathroom, and comfort of first class is nice.
Anyway, I was actually surprised to see that they upgraded the kosher meal to a "first class" version of the kosher meal.
It started with an appetizer:
Then the main and dessert courses came together:
The "normal" first class meals had choices of steak and other selections. They also had an awesome looking ice cream dessert, really looked great.
I am not thinking, "I can't go back to coach." Honestly, right now, I am thinking that I won't have an issue with the seat I have on the way back. But I am be a big talker now, I'll let you know when I land on Friday, how it is. Or who knows, maybe I'll get upgraded again (wishful thinking).

Ha, you are ruined now. I remember the first time I flew first class. There is always overhead compartment room and leg room. I got to sneer at the common folk as they passed on their way to their cramped little seats. ;-) I got to be the first on and the first off the plane. It stunk going back to coach!

Wait, are you saying that the food was good or bad?
I learned a long time ago to stop eating on plane journeys. I had to retrain my natural instincts to eat something that was already paid for even if it's 3 in the morning. El Al business class is pretty good, but other than that it's better to skip the meal all together.
Also I have the feeling that ordering a special meal actually counts against you when it comes to upgrades as they rarely carry the equivalent special meal in higher grades. The only times I was ever upgraded on British Airways or Lufthansa was when I forgot to book the Kosher meal.

These type of meals look the business if you eat flesh, try changing to a veggie diet its much healthier and probably tastier.
