I can assure you with absolute certainty.... it is not!
After your 267th time, the polish has long come off the apple of First Class.
And, it's only then, when you realize that you still have another 15 years of that shit remaining.

The goodies bag they give you has some worthwhile things in it. And the food is absolutely incredible, fine restaurant quality! We only fly Korean Air so I can't speak for the other airlines, but they are probably equally good.

Yes!!! They are very nice; I used to fly them from LAX to ICN all the time.
We used miles from AA to/fr Europe this last time.... Peasant First Class. Nowhere near as nice as the premium branded F that is found in "real" long haul carriers.
Sadly, there are no real European partners for AA.
And, since they dropped SQ, there is no civilized way to get to Asia.
So, I am forever relegate to second class First Class. First world problems, for sure!

People that don’t understand our bougie white ass problems, should not pick on our despair over our bougie white ass problems.

At least you get to travel first-class for work... no such luck for me
... and I'm 192 cm tall (6ft 3.6) which makes these trips truly enjoyable.

I got bumped to First Class once.
I felt like a poser.
I got to fly on the company owner’s personal (not company) private jet once to St. Kitts. After that, even First Class was lame.
I should never have gotten a view beyond my curtain.

When I flew out to FL to visit Rob years ago, there were only two passengers on my aircraft. The pending hurricane scared everyone away.
OMG... that is hysterical. Been there.
Life in front of the curtain is so much better, as you know. Sitting next to the 300-pound blubbering, sweating person in steerage, while looking through the curtain is the worst.
It's the absolute worst.
There was me in steerage (ever the lowly commoner), and one other uhh, "man" in First Class. It soon became nauseatingly clear that Sugar-Britches up there in 1st fancied me. He would NOT stop sneaking looks and gazing longingly. I buried my nose in a book, but the damage was done. He was on the radar, and I got annoyed with constantly moving my eyes up and catching him gazing longingly at me. I had about enough of that shit. Movie ref: Tom Sizemore in "Heat", at the coffee shop when they are yelling at the new guy, and diners nearby are watching. Sizemore gives them "the look". So ai gave him the menacing Sizemore Look..
But that really didn't work. I had to actually express myself with hands up, a shrug, and a terse "what?" with a scowl.
After landing in Orlando, Sugar- Britches was carefully walking behind me as I headed towards the outside door. I turned around sharply, and he made an immediate right turn and darted off
Very SMART move.
If that's representative of 1st Class, you can have it. I'll take the seat next to the Lithuanian hillbilly with the chicken.

Stevie mentioned "polish has gone off the apple".
Yes. Human nature to simply think the grass is greener up there, so you want what the other guy has.
I don't like crowds, I don't like sharing my 3-foot environment at all, and I don't like having to put up with idiot-drivel from chatty-Cathys who are oblivious to anyone's signal given that they want to be left the FUCK ALONE. Burying your nose in a book doesn't stop them. You donning a set of headphones won't stop them. "I'm going to close my eyes and get some sleep" doesn't stop them.
A toilet plunger shoved smartly in their face stops them.
For those 3 reasons, I'd like to ride in 1st. Don't care about the drinks, I'm not there to get shit faced. And it encouraged having to pee .

Being "polite", which is just an excuse for being timid, will never, ever work for you where other people doing annoying shit is concerned. You have to be quick, you have to be blunt, and you have to be right-now about it
What? You gonna wait until it gets to epic-bad levels and then snap? You gonna just let it continue, the walking all over your peace and personal space? Why? Because you don't want to be seen as the "bad guy"? Or you don't want a conflict? Which is it? You only have one or the other, there is no third reason.
If you don't want to be the bad guy, I understand. I don't give a shit, but I get it .
But if you pick the second reason, then it will get ten times worse down the road. Might as well make it easy for all involved . Fk'n say something, you ninny.

Before Political Correctness ever became a thang in the 90s, my dad gave me some great life advice concerning people who are easily offended.
People who are easily offended?
Well, let’s get this over with.
Go ahead, offend them.
When the opportunity presents itself - and you know it will - go ahead and light their ass up. Raise their tail, and run that wire brush across their asshole.
Let them freak out.
Let them make all of that noise, and attract all of that attention to themselves.
Expose them for what they are.
Don’t respond.
Don’t engage.
Just calmly stand there.
(I usually look at ‘em like they’s stupid.)
Now…
Can we get back to what we were doing?
These people are slow to learn, but they will usually begin to figure it out.
So don’t miss an opportunity.
The world will be a better place.
