I've only flown first class once and that will probably be my only time. We upgraded, for $150 from Las Vegas to Philly and it was worth every penny! We started off with big, comfy, leather seats...then we got warm towels...(don't know what they were for, though! lol!)...followed by salad, then our entree...we had a choice from three...followed by dessert. We ate off of real plates with real silverware and real little salt & pepper shakers (I have the pictures to prove it! lol) We drank out of real glasses. It was soooo nice! That was two years ago. We just went to Vegas again, last month, different airline, but we got a little tiny bag of pretzels and two horrible little cookies, in coach. Don't know what they were serving in first class, but it smelled pretty good! If it's a long flight I would go for it...if not, then save the miles for a long flight, unless you'll lose them.
