I have on a few special occasions considered indulging just once in a "first class" airline seat. The crazy expense of such exclusive tickets never once superceded by intense frugality.

| Chipolte Chicken or Tortellini with Red Sauce |
This trip all the rules were tossed out the window. I bought an "economy" ticket to go to Santiago which is the class of ticket I always purchase. Somehow though, 2 of the 3 legs placed me in 1st class. I felt like a little kid trying to sit at the grown up table at Thanksgiving. Totally out of my element. But admittedly, the last leg pushed me over the top. As we took off and the slow beverage service of the rest of plane proceeded, we were handed warm cloths to clean our hands. Warmed mixed nuts (the good kind with pistachios, cashews, etc. No peanuts in this one!). Then we were served a wonderful meal complete with available wine and cheesecake. WHAT?!?!
No lie, it was nice to be doted on. However, I seriously question if this lifestyle would be for me in a broader sense as I was privy to the musings of the 2 gentlemen in front me discussing the finer points of how life should be lived in the moment for ourselves.
Uh, NAH...
