The Pre-Flight Glow-Up
First-class starts before you even board. I rolled up to the airport feeling ✨special✨ because first-class tickets usually come with priority check-in and security. Zero lines. It’s giving “I’m too important for this chaos.” Pro tip: get there a little early anyway—lounges are a vibe. I hit up the lounge, and let me tell you, free snacks and drinks are way better than spending $17 on a sad airport sandwich.
What to Expect:
- Chill seating with outlets everywhere for your devices.
- Unlimited snacks and drinks. Yes, you can pour a mimosa pre-flight.
- Bathrooms that don’t feel like a gas station.
The Boarding Experience
When they called first class, I was lowkey nervous—like, am I supposed to strut down the jet bridge like a model? (Answer: yes, but casually.) You board first, which means no awkwardly bumping into people while shoving your carry-on into the overhead bin.
Pro tip: Don’t overpack your personal item (like I did). First class has so much legroom, so keep it minimalist and cute—a crossbody bag is all you need.
In-Flight Feels
Walking into the first-class cabin felt surreal. The seats are huge, like literal thrones. I settled in, and before I even had my seatbelt on, the flight attendant was offering me a drink. White wine? Don’t mind if I do.
What You Get:
- ✨Legroom for days✨
- Seats that recline like a dream (some even turn into beds).
- Fancy meals served on real plates. No shade to economy, but it’s giving “5-star restaurant at 30,000 feet.”
- A personal TV that’s big enough to enjoy.
Pro tip: Bring cozy socks or slippers. It’s giving luxe.
Tips for First-Class Newbies
- Dress the part: You don’t have to go full-on designer, but a cute athleisure fit or a chic blazer goes a long way. People will notice.
- Pack smart: Bring a good skincare kit to keep that glow alive. The air up there is DRY. Face mist is your bestie.
- Don’t be afraid to ask: Not sure how something works? Ask the flight attendant! They’re there to help, and honestly, they were so nice, it felt like being in a five-star hotel.

Enjoy the perks: First-class isn’t cheap, so live it up! Order that second mimosa, eat the dessert, and take all the snacks they offer.
