Its not.

I fly Jet Blue now and they rock! If I go International then I will for sure spend the bucks to fly 1st Class. Well worth the money! I really want to take a concord flight but thats about $8,000.00-$12,000.00 last I checked.

it was truly awesome. the concorde is like no other plane in the world (obviously). our flight was just 1.5 hours out, then 1.5 hours back (roughly). my dad will talk about it for the rest of his life.

if you have the money, go for it. amazing.

I talked to a train company employee who pays nothing for train rides and he told me he always traveled 2nd class because all the cute chicks are there.

I like a good road trip if the drive is under 8 hours. Vegas is too far...I'm not into driving thru the desert.

As for 1st class vs. coach...I just sleep anyway...or watch the movie...so it really doesn't matter to me.

Life is all about packing as many experiences as possible into your lifetime. Sounds like fun and a great gift for your Dad! I must get on a concorde someday. It's not surprising that the French created the most stylish and fastest commercial jet on Earth. A lot of people hate the French but I love their passion. They eat and drink better than any nation on earth. French wine IS the finest on earth and French cuisine puts the rest of Europe to shame, even Italy. No wonder the English hate them. They have the best art and the most beautiful architecture - and I think their women are hot too. Well... not all of them.

Unfortunately I don't fly anymore because of my back. Most flights are too long for me. When I travel, I travel by motor home and usually have a friend drive me, or I hire a driver. If I drive myself I will stop at every road side rest area to walk and relieve some of the pain from sitting an hour. Additionally from what some of my friends have told me and from what I have seen on T.V. I don't think I would fly anyhow. The show up time and some of the bullshit you have to go through to board a plane, since 9/11, I would have little toleration for. I do not like to be treated as livestock. By the way I have never flown first class. I am just to tight with a nickel.

Most flights are too long? Hah, you pussy! In Australia, you have fly about 14 hours non-stop just to get to another first world country (excluding New Zealand). I love flying, takeoff always gives me a thrill and I even like airline food.

French food is among my least favorite.

Italian & Greek food is much better in my opinion.

What's "Economy" I've heard about it but I'm sure it's just a myth like the Loch Ness Monster.

There's where us normal people sit, just behind the flight deck, drinking our free champaigne cocktails. Then where the poor people sit, in Club, and the rest of the plane is for our luggage.

The only thing I cannot figure out is where all those crowds I see at airports disappear to.

Quiet - you are a good shit man.

I have sent my mom to Mexico twice in the past 2 years. She LOVES it there... she has blonde hair and the locals apparently treat her nice there... plus she can relax on the beach, read her books and have as many margarita's as she wants all day long.

Doesnt cost me much so I send her there... Not quite as stylin as the concorde though, but I hope my mother appreciates it

Personally, I have never flown first class because I can justify the extra $1000-$1500 for free booze and bigger seats... I dont eat airline food anyways and I am not a big guy (5'8", 175)... so I would rather spend that money on a couple of really nice restaurants and fatten my ass up
