The Perks of Business Class
Here is a list of things that I was treated to thanks to the Spirit dollar while on my flight from Chicago to Frankfurt:-Getting to board the plane first and getting let off first, so waiting in huge lines.
-The seats are HUGE!
- The headrests raise, tilt, and have formable sides
- They have lumbar support, and even a cycle function that constantly massages your lower back.
- There is so much legroom that you can’t even touch the seat ahead of you.
- Fully reclining seat with leg and footrests
-You get a blanket and large pillow.
-You get a bag that contains socks, an eyemask, earplugs, tissues, mints, hydrating lotion, toothbrush, toothpaste, and a headset.
-Champagne was served before even all of the passengers had boarded.
-A menu was handed out before all of the passengers had boarded. The menu had the following:
__Appetizers__
- -shrimp, proscuitto ham, St. Andre Triple Crème cheese and vegetable crudité. (while that all sounds really amazing, can I say that the shrimp was kind of warm and nasty, the ham was really grosse, the cheese tasted more like butter than cheese (imagine eating a chunk of butter), but the vegetables where good).
- Fresh seasonal greens
- Classic Caesar or roasted garlic red wine vinaigrette.
__Main Course__
Filet Mignon with béarnaise sauce
- Potato leek cake and spinach with shallots and mushrooms. (My choice…yum!)
Horseradish crusted salmon with dill cream sauce.
- Egg and scallion fried rice with carrots and sugar snap peas.
Pasta Trio
- Three cheese filled pastas with pine nut pesto Alfredo and marinara sauce.
__Dessert__
- International cheese selection.
- Chocolate mousse cake.
-As soon as we got to altitude, drinks were served.
- Sparkling, red and white wines were offered.
-Mixed nuts were served in heated ceramic dishes.
-Before dinner we were each given a heated washcloth to wash up with.
-Our tray tables (which came out of the arm rest, not the seat in front) were covered with cloth napkins.
-When dessert was served, they also served coffee liqueur. This made for a great combination with the chocolate mousse.
-Shortly after dinner they started the movies, and while we didn’t have control over the playback of the movies on this flight, we did have a choice of about 8 movies and they played them 3 times since the flight was 8 hours long.
So, that’s my recap of the business class flight. It was nice, but I don’t think it is worth the extra cost just for the 8 hours of being spoiled. It was nice to have the experience though.
Peace and blessings,
JZ.
