I fly first class all the time. It's not that much better than an exit row, generally. Unless you're talking international (and not Canada or Mexico). Then yes, business class or first class is a whole thing.
Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I generally like flying! I still think it's fun.

Yeah, I like flying mostly. I think I do it frequently enough to be used to the routine and not enough that it doesn't lose it's novelty.
I am so over cancelled flights, though.

I don't dislike flying. Every so often you get a really frustrating one, but mostly it's fine. I do usually pay for economy plus if I'm not getting an upgrade for some reason.

My first class was Thanksgiving Wednesday and I had agreed to be bumped twice. Flight attendant were extremely kind. Plus, I was in college.
So tired right now.

I mostly spend thre whole time on a plane reading, so it feeds my bookworm habit.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Way back when, United used to automatically upgrade Mileage Plus members from economy to first class if first class had seats available, so I got several first class flights to and from college. That was nice.

I am grading and ye gads, the sucky papers suck and I am a judgey monster. Who needs to find nice ways of saying, this paper was fine but uninspired and without a huge amount of thought. Still, way easier to grade the mediocre student than the word salad, help me I'm drowning! students who shouldn't have been allowed to bypass the freshman writing requirement.

In terms of flying, used to enjoy flying, but as sinuses got worse, and back got worse, became too unpleasant a journey. Almost a decade ago now, I did attend the Climate COP in Bali all expenses paid. Cheapest airline, but that proved to be a plus - Chinese food cooked by an actual Chinese airline three meals a day for two days. (There was an American food option at every meal, but with Chinese food as the alternative, why would I bother?) That was fun.
In terms of voting, with a drop box close to my house I tend to be lazy and vote at the last minute. But this town is small enough that I'm voting for one candidate because I know him well, and against another - also because I know him well.
