When I was first traveling for work, the first class cabin was mostly upgrades. And that meant it was frequent business travelers, who skewed middle aged and male. First class fares have come down a lot, there are plenty of upsells to leisure travelers, and as little as 13% of first class seats may be going to upgrades (Delta, but other airlines are catching up to them). The demographics of who is sitting up front have changed, but there are still remnants of the past.

Parents flying Delta first class from Tampa to Atlanta allowed their child to place stickers all over the seating area around them – and leave it that way. After all, they probably had a connection to catch!
Tampa – Atlanta is only 406 miles and seems like a lot of work for a child to accomplish so quickly, but apparently they had the process automated.

Airline first class hasn’t been for the wealthy in 40 years. Domestically, it went from a place filled with upgraded upper middle class middle managers to a place filled with people who have $40 or, sadly, people who have $40 available on a credit card.

Having to share power in coach has become more of a problem as passengers increasingly rely on their devices – either for inflight entertainment (because American Airlines flights lack screens) or to connect to the world (Delta’s free wifi).
But how about this passenger in first class who seems to need more than one outlet for themselves – and deprives the passenger behind them?

A first class passenger flying American Airlines from Dallas to Grand Rapids, Michigan on Sunday had a surprise – the person sitting in front of them in seat 2C had an extra special premium seat.
