The only really good flying experience I've had was getting upgraded to business class as the result of agreeing to give up my seat to someone else because of overbooking. My hubby and I also got $1400 in travel vouchers (free trip to Hawaii)and a nice hotel with a free dinner. We got to sit in seats that were essentially leather la-z-boys, we were fed real food and good booze from the moment we got on the plane, had a bunch of decent movies to watch on our personal players, and we actually got to London in the evening which eliminated jet lag problems.
Unfortunately, the experience has scarred us for life. It is impossible to not reminisce about the pleasures while sardined in coach for 12+ hours with the smell of poopy diaper wafting every hour or so, staring at the balding head reclined practically into my lap, watching crappy tv reruns out of excruciating boredom only to do the connecting flight airport dash when we land.
