Here's a laugh for you all. I just boarded first class and realized how normal that is for so many of us. It made me think of when I first got a Delta AmEx (gold) seven years ago... (continued)

when I first started traveling and I thought Zone 1 made me some kind of a badass. Apparently I didn't even know what that meant. First flight, they called first class and my dumb ass proudly strutted to the boarding line...only to be turned away. I'm pretty sure I even said something about having the credit card. Man, 24-year-old me was such a doosh 😂.

I know not what first class is like.
