Am I the only one who has never flown any class other than coach? I flew business class to/from Japan, but that was on work - I am too cheap to pay that much out of pocket.

I made the tragic mistake of upgrading to first class when our family moved to Hawaii. Now I am ruined.
The government (Army) pays some stupid rates on airfare that usually isn't the lowest. They had the responsibility to move us from VA to HI but we were visiting family in Texas. The travel folks actually wanted me to return to VA just to fly to HI (stupid but they didn't get it). I did the research and found 1st class tickets from Houston to Honolulu, I traded in my DC to HI tickets (United) and paid $50 per person ticket difference and $25 fee for the change.
Did the same thing a couple of years later when my boss wanted me to attend a conference in Florida (from Hawaii). I paid a bit more but I just couldn't imagine flying that far twice in a week in coach. It was American and 1st class sucked.
