First class used to be worth it, but since last fall the asinine attitude of most flight crews on US airlines doesn't justify it. The ones that do serve food serve the crap they used to have in coach as well.
Just like my little Vegas hotel rant I have some airline preferences lol...
Continental is good in both coach and first -- so is Air Canada. USAirways used to be great, but I havent lived on the east coast in a long time so I dunno any more.
American sucks ass and I'd rather fly on sorry ass America Worst than take AA out of DFW (oh wait, did that today...)
KLM just plain blows, I don't care for them at all, I'd rather swim to Holland if that was the choice. I have heard horror stories about Northwest, but never needed to fly them.
Delta is still pretty cool, they put my kid in first class for one leg of a flight last month where he was traveling alone, so he really likes them.
Southwest, for flights of an hour and a half or less rock pretty much, unless it's Phoenix to Vegas on Friday afternoon when the drunks are on board... you get on the plane, find a fucking seat and then you go. Cheaply.
For long flights, first class is still the best - not for the amenities but for the legroom and the recline angle on the seats.
I want to take the Concorde to Europe, that is my idea of a fun flight. I also want to try Qantas and Virgin Atlantic since I've heard good things about both.
And the kicker, I finally get to book a flight to Vegas on National, home of the really cheap first class upgrades and they stop flying two days later lol ;)
