First Class...Right Flight!

I do have pictures from my time in Kansas, and I do have them scanned in...but I have to go to a party, so I'll have to post them later. (Sigh...my busy social life...HA!) ANYWAY, in the post below are some pictures from the big 2-9, and here are some pictures of the flight portions of my trip to Kansas.
Julie (on the left, in case you weren't sure) and I ended up being able to sit together on every flight. On this, our first flight, our seats were supposed to be apart - each of us in the middle of a 3 seat row, one in front of the other. BUT - when I got to my row, some old lady had gotten her seat mixed up and took a young guy's seat. So he, in turn, took mine. SO - the flight attendant just told me to sit across the aisle in one of the two seater seats. NO PROBLEM! By the time the plane door closed, no one had come to sit by me, so Julie asked if she could switch and sit by me. The less than personable attendant waved her over. YAY!!!! We flew coach on this one.

When we arrived at the Memphis airport on Saturday for the last leg of our journey home, we were told we had to check in at the gate for seat assignments...something we found odd, because Julie had arranged all that. The lady handed us our boarding passes and we left to find food (priorities, you know). When the plane began boarding, we realized the seats were FIRST CLASS. Julie insisted that was a mistake, and the lady insisted that it wasn't. So YAY - we got to fly that last one first class!!! My first time ever! (You know...since it was only my second flight round!)
Above - Bekah in first class by the window. Below - Julie in first class by the lovey dovey old couple. He was way older than she, but they held hands the whole time. It was so cute. Also cute was when she tried to open her chip bag and they flew everywhere. We kept our laughing hidden.
Below - apparently in first class, you drink from REAL GLASS glasses. (I know someone is laughing at me right now. HEY. It was my first time, okay?) I had to stick with water (ick to my no pop for a year vow). But water out of a glass glass is very fun. Cheers!

PS - the title of my post comes from a Mark Lowry song called "First Class, Wrong Flight" - in honor of a time he was bumped to first class and then found out he was not on the right plane. At least we were in the right spot!

Hey you're a regular flier now! Good for you. I love to fly, I look at it this way it takes me 20 hrs to get to Florida by car, or 2 by plane no brainer.

What airlines did you fly? I like to fly southwest because the seats aren't reserved. That's nice you go to sit by Julie, and WOW first class, classy lady bekah! haha :)

I am totally bringing a camera to game night this time, AND a funny tape :) haha

You better bring the tape! I need a good laugh!!!
