something in the air

*Or a queen. Your call.

2. Or even better – a free row of seats ALL TO YOURSELF

Oh, me? I’m just HORIZONTAL ON A PLANE. No biggie.

3. “We’re ahead of schedule”

Nice.

4. Realising you have one of those systems that lets you choose your own movie

X-Men or The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants? Your call, sir.

5. Sitting beside someone hot

And getting to deploy your full range of “Anything good in the in-flight magazine?” chat-up lines. Slick.

6. Unexpectedly getting a free drink

7. And best of all… when you get an UPGRADE
