The High Life
This is the life!
After years of hard work, I’ve finally made it to the first class cabin, and not only that, a first class cabin with suites! Privacy doors, a minibar, a luxurious seat/bed, no-one bothering me, absolute bliss.
My bliss was ruined by an unfortunately familiar voice as I was admiring the clouds outside my window.
“Leona! How many times do I have to say this? You can’t use the suite just because it’s empty!”
“Bugger off Sally, I’m still on break.”
“Not anymore, get back to economy with the trolley, it’s time to serve dinner.”
