Exec Plat here, the drinks are always free for me. I usually take a few before we land and stick in my cabinet at home. No idea why. I don’t drink them, just kind of a funny way to quantify how many fucking flights a week I’m on.

Ok well it was only an hour flight. Just to clarify, alcohol is free in first class? I fly American every week so I know booze isn't normally free.

All you people saying you didn’t realize what amenities you have for certain classes.... why don’t you fucking google “delta comfort+” or “American first class” smh

Geez OP. You done messed up!

Depending on the time of day and flight duration, meals are often served in first. It’s usually not the most amazing food, but hey, it’s hot food.

My rent isn’t too pricey, but I went on 3 vacations, go out to the bars frequently, and spend pretty freely on food. Anyone care to share their income and corresponding savings for FIRE?

May I know how long does it take to get offer from mindtree once all rounds are cleared. I'm bit concerned becuz it's more than 17 days now
