Disadvantages of First Class:

  • Hovering attendants who won't allow you to either work or sleep.
  • The smell of food in a confined space, particularly meat, which is nauseating to me.
  • The smell of the lavatory in a very confined space.
  • Attendants running up and down the aisle providing service to the main cabin.
  • Extremely uncomfortable seats, concave undermining lumbar support plus a forward-curve at shoulder level, profoundly subverting spinal comfort and health.

Advantages of First Class:

  • Marginally wider seats with marginally deeper leg room, although if you choose an exit row in the main cabin the leg room is nearly identical.
  • No stupid video monitor in your face.
