First Class Ground Services Matter

Gary and I were both asked by Flightfox to rank the quality of first class products. Gary followed the rankings up with an explanation of some of his rankings, while I followed that up with my thoughts on the differences in some of our rankings.

I love Gary, and generally we have very similar thought processes. So it's genuinely exciting to me when we can disagree on something, even if it's as #firstworld as the minute differences between various first class products.

Now Gary has turned this into the "Airline First Class Thunderdome: Two Blogs Enter, One Blog Leaves."

All I can say to Gary is... BRING IT!
