I’m kind of a big deal.

Nah. Just an Italian who - at the sweet young age of 53 - finally got a biz class ticket on a domestic flight. By obliterating his hard earned points balance for an upgrade. You know, one of these where you get seat 1A which is still an economy class seat, just with a free seat next to you. He's playing "rich world" manager now.

Absolutely this. If he flew first class with any sort of routine or regularity it would not be remotely special.

Yes. My first long haul first class I took a bunch of pictures. My second, I did not.

Mainly of my feet not quite reaching the foot rest. Eating dinner and watching a first run movie. Warm nuts. And my airplane flying over Iran (at least that's what the tv screen said).

Warm nuts are the reward for economy flight.

First class has personal nut warmers

u/Tombiepoo 2d ago

Can confirm. My nuts are always too hot, in fact, because I can't move my legs much in economy.

EXACTLY.

One first class flight I was on, they made chocolate chip cookies. The smell wafted back to economy. It wasn’t even fair.

That's how wars start.

Seriously. How the plebes didn’t rush first class with an improvised guillotine, I’ll never know.

flying anywhere isn't remotely special anymore

On a regional connection before moving back to coach for his actual long haul

This is the white business man’s version of renting a jet for a photo shoot for his Instagrams 300 followers. It’s so performative. Act like you’ve been there before or you just look like a goof.

Why is he showing his passport if it's domestic?

You need an ID document even on domestic flights here in Europe. Maybe he's also travelling within the EU. Who knows? (And I really don't care. It's far easier and funnier to just make assumptions ;-))
