She's Flying

I've flown first-class a few times, thanks to frequent flier miles and kind attendants that provided an upgrade. It's nice in first class, you use cloth napkins and drink out of real glasses instead of the plastic cups, the meals are pretty decent and the extra seat room is fantastic.You actually feel like an adult. Whenever I board a plane and pass the people in first class I always wonder who they are. Are they really wealthy, are they business people flying on the companies dime, using their own frequent flier miles or a VIP? Regardless they never look at you when you pass,they sit in their comfy wide leather seats and stare down or play with their electronics.
I make my way into the cattle car called coach and a curtain is drawn between the classes, as if seeing how well they are treated might garner a riot. I find nothing fun about flying. Right now I'm sandwich in between a young man that could be a college football player, he's huge, so big that a first class seat would allow him to fly comfortably, instead he squeezed himself into the space by the window, he's snoring lightly and I'm really hoping his head does not land on my shoulder and that his half drank cup of Starbucks coffee stays in his hand. To my right is a computer geek who is returning from his 30 college reunion, he works for Intel and you can tell he's really, really smart. Pleasant too. But tired after a quick weekend with his old buddies and a lot of golf. Ok, now I'm hoping his head does not land on my shoulder too. I'm about 20 minutes into this 5 plus hour flight and I feel really bad for the mom a couple of rows ahead of me; her toddler just ain't having this airplane stuff and is screaming loudly. Most of the passengers seem to listening to their iPod's so I'm not seeing her get any dirty looks. But I'd sure like to give on to the person behind me who keeps kicking my seat. Travel with her today,don't kick the back of her seat.• Get more She Prep at www.ShePrep.com
