I can never fly economy again

The best thing about Business Class is, quite obviously, the free bar.

I realise that the kind of people who can afford these tickets don't care one way or another about the price of booze, but within me lies an eternal student I guess, because I was all over that bar at the first class airport lounge like a drunk in, er, a first class airport lounge. It isn't even staffed. You just walk around and help yourself. No measures or anything, just free-pour bottles. Like being at a really great party, only without all that fag-ash in the ice bucket.

Unfortunately, the high-class drinking binge did nothing to calm my fear of flying. I nearly had a full-blown panic attack when I realised the pilot was female. Fuck, I had to take some deep breaths. Bjarni, appalled by the chauvinist pig in me, made me toast our free champagne to equal rights. I was too terrified to object.

To equal rights!

  2. The gorgeous Bjarni had business in Dublin and took me with him.

    He could have just stuck me in economy and waved at me through that curtain every so often – but luckily for me he much more generous than that.
