With all the traveling we have done there have rarely been any perks. We are a cattle class, cheapest flight sort or family. Period. But I can’t complain as I get to travel. A lot.
When we board airplanes I ignore the first class area. What you don’t know about, you won’t desire. Ignorance has been my bliss.
That all being said, my husband just got a credit card associated with an airline. This card gives us membership to the frequent flyer club allowing us to ‘hang out’ in their club room at the airport. I always imagined a swanky bar full of people laughing passing the hours until it’s time to board their flight. It might be that in the evening, but right now at 8am it’s a quiet spot where we can comfortably sit and enjoy a free cup if coffee, orange juice and a selection of breakfast foods.
The kids are safe and comfortable watching their devices.
Travel just got significantly better.
