Yes, when I used to work for an airline in the 60's. Those were the seats that were empty, so we got them as employees. One of the great perks back then. Since flying is generally a miserable experience now days, I won't spent the extra money for first class. No good meals there either. If I win the lotto, I would waste the money just for the extra space.

Totally agree! I fly first class now only when I get free upgrades, but if I were paying, I'd save my money. chum

My dh up till this summer flew weekly, so frequent upgrades to 1st class. The last several times we've been on a trip we were upgraded. It's nice to be on first, get comfy and the free drinks! The best times to fly 1st are cross country or overseas. I hate having to travel regular class now - got spoiled!!!!!
