Ummmm... have you flown first class recently?

International first class -- you are probably right. Last time I did
that was in 1998 and it was definitely an experience to remember.
Domestic first class -- I fly that at least twice a year and it's not
that great. Just better seats. yeah you get a meal but it's not
anything like Jay describes. I use FF miles to upgrade -- would never
pay for it, because it's not worth it.

I have flown in coach on one international flight. The other times I have
flown in business class. The coach seats for international flights are
bigger than the seats you get in coach for domestic but not quite as big as
domestic 1st class. I've flown 1st class several times on domestic flights
and I wouldn't pay extra for the little more room either, I get a 'free
upgrade' or us miles also.

I'm flying to Phoenix in January, the only thing I could find for the given
miles was 1st class from Minneapolis to Detroit and then to Phoenix. The
return trip is in coach.
