Why is First Class First Class?
Ever since I was first old enough to set foot on a train I have wondered: what, actually, is the point of First Class? It looks the same. It smells the same. Basically, it IS THE SAME. The only notable differences are as follows, and these are things which, for the record, aren’t particularly significant anyway.
1) The seats have cotton pieces on the head-rests, so that when you set your head back you are doing so – touching the head-rest, I mean – only for the 100th time that day (which is not bad considering how many times more heads touch the head-rests in regular class. 2) The seats are a different colour and have better mini-tables. 3) Er…there is a sliding door on the front that says First Class on it. That’s it.
So why, then, does it cost so damn much to upgrade to first class?
My guess is this: when you pay for First Class, you’re not actually paying for the quality of where you are sitting, oh no. You’re ACTUALLY paying for the chance to not sit near regular class people. In First Class, you will only sit next to the headmaster of an important private school, or next to a laser hair removal sussex surgeon. Is this good? Apparently so, for what it is worth…
Me? I couldn’t care less about the little cotton pieces on the head-rests. Give me regular class any day, for I am one of the people and proud to be for as long as possible.
