How I did it: Just spur of the moment. On the way back from New England to the West Coast, I thought the long trip deserved a more comfortable position.

My husband and I were on our way home from Scotland and our flight got overbooked. So after spending the night in the airport, the airlines gave us and the others that spent the night, first class tickets back home! It was a great experience.
It just looks so much more roomy and comfy in 1st Class. I want to try it, especially if the flight is very long.

On my flight back to NYC after Christmas in my hometown I upgraded to Business Class. I liked it. You get to board first and while everyone is getting settled in their seats the flight attendants offer you drinks. There is more leg room {yay!} and a better selection of snacks {while everyone else has to be content with their tiny bag of pretzles}. I would definitely do it again. All those small perks add up to a much more pleasant flight.
But Business Class is different from First Class, right? First Class includes a little more luxury – like hot towels and champagne, right?
THAT’S what I’m looking for!
Delphi really doesn't need another status message to set.
I got bumped on a flight recently. I should have pushed more, they probably would have upgraded me.
