ANA First Class Rocks!!

2016-11-28 | 日記

Wow! Now I am in Germany for business. I was so lucky that my travel agent was able to get me a First Class ticket on ANA for even less than what it normally would have cost for Business Class.   So, naturally, I jumped at the opportunity. (BTW, I only fly business class when it is part of the client contract. I can't afford to pay for it myself!) 

This was the first time in my life to fly First Class, so I was very excited. At the same time, though, I thought "Can it really be that different from Business Class?"   I was pleasantly surprised to find that the answer is "Yes." It's more than simply a "level up." The service was attentive, without being cloying. The food, pictured above, was amazing. Like fine dining in a great restaurant.

Anyway, I hope that this was not a once-in-a-lifetime experience. But I am certainly glad that I was able to enjoy it even once. And I hope it doesn't spoil me from flying in my usual seats in Premium Economy. 

By the way, I can really recommend my travel agent. His name is Vincent. You can contact him at: vincent.dobc@gmail.com

I attended Crawford High School in San Diego, California. Recently, I met a lady who graduated from Crawford several years ago. She was born in Somalia and came to the US as a child. She told me that Crawford is now the most ethically diverse high school in the most diverse state in the most diverse country in the world. I remember back to when I went to Crawford (back when dinosaurs were still roaming the Earth). Aside from a very large Jewish contingent (probably around 25%), the rest of the student body was pretty much white-bread WASP. For me, the current Crawford represents the real potential and strength of our country. I'm afraid, though, that the next president's view of an "Ideal USA" is closer to what I experienced back in the Old Days.
