"My $500 ticket included Sky Priority service, two checked bags, breakfast, and a stellar seat. I felt like a VIP for the three-hour flight, but the trip wasn't long enough to justify the upgrade. One of the perks of flying first class is getting off the plane as soon as it parks at the arrival gate. But when I landed at Palm Beach International Airport, I had a truly shocking thought: "I wish that flight were longer.""
"I flew Delta from my home in NYC to West Palm Beach, Florida. The ride was just under three hours, and I booked a first-class ticket for $500 - a $350 upgrade from basic economy. I flew first class once about 15 years ago, but this was my first experience in the premium cabin with Delta and as an adult. I loved feeling like a VIP for two hours and 50 minutes, but ultimately, I regretted splurging on a first-class ticket for a short trip."
I flew first class from New York City to West Palm Beach, Florida, on Delta for a three-hour trip. The $500 ticket represented a $350 upgrade from basic economy and included Sky Priority, two checked bags, breakfast, and a premium seat. I arrived at JFK early, used Sky Priority check-in, and boarded in the first group. Flight attendants provided water bottles and attentive service before takeoff. I enjoyed feeling like a VIP for 2 hours and 50 minutes but concluded the short duration did not justify the upgrade cost and left the arrival gate wishing the flight had been longer.
