While most Thanksgiving travelers will fight for overhead bins and go hours without a snack or room to stretch their legs, life in first class is stress free. It's always been a special place on the other side of the curtain. Now, it's getting even cushier. U.S. airlines, profitable again after a disastrous decade, are spending almost $2 billion to upgrade amenities for their highest-paying customers.

Kind of misleading, it starts out with, "While most Thanksgiving travelers will fight for overhead bins and go hours without a snack or room to stretch their legs, life in first class is stress free."

LOL, you get what you pay for... Pay for 1st class, get 1st class. Give me a break. If you are too cheap to pay for first class, don't expect to get 1st class service.

I fly a fair amount of domestic First, and don't see any sundaes. More often I'm told they have run out of my meal choice. "Enjoy the cereal. The eggs are gone".

As for coach, they've figured that the more miserable they can make the experience, the greater the opportunity to charge for things like reserved seats, early boarding, etc. As customers, we have let them get away with this. Nobody else to blame.
