Nervous Nelly

Flying with nervous Nelly. So my seat mate today in first class is a mother of four, all of whom are on the flight along with her husband. I noticed them before boarding as the husband was trying to work out boarding and seating arrangements for his crew, all apparently in their teens. I will guess this is their first flight as a family and not too experienced. To his credit, the husband gave hisfirst class upgrade to his wife, Nervous Nelly. I am in the aisle seat, trying to settle in before flight. She boarded with first class but then had to stand right in front of me to be sure her family boarded.

First Class Libations at the Crack of Dawn

It is always entertaining to watch the infrequent flyers when they get upgraded to first class. They seem to always order a bloody mary or other alcoholic beverage at 7a, because of course it is free. Yes, I am people watching.
