I have, twice... once for work (they paid for it, of course), and once when I opted to take the next flight since the airline overbooked my flight and they said that anyone who gives up their seat can fly firstclass on the next flight. It was a three hour wait till the next flight, but well worth it.

Yes I have on Stand-By when my Dad use to work for United Airlines and I never flown 1st class during a good period of time. It was also in the morning or on one of those small commuter flights where it really didn't make a difference.

I remember United got pretty wack at one point.Well, I've gone first class on several domestic flights, and business class on international flights, but never first class on international ('cause I'm too young). All thanks to being on stand-by; no way we'd ever be able to pay for that ish full price. It's a nice plus, especially on international flights 'cause those tend to be long as heck. Ultimately though, I don't mind flying economy/coach. |
