First Class Domestic Travel First class domestic travel may not offer everything it used to, but it is a much more comfortable plane ride. You will be seated in the front of the plane, which means you will be the first on the plane and the first to exit the plane when you have landed. Since meals are a thing of the past on most domestic flights these days, you will still be able to enjoy complementary beverages and peanuts. You will have to pay extra for snacks and meal boxes if your flight will be a longer one. But there are still perks that you will enjoy including lots of foot room, reclining seats, in flight movie, and personalized service. Flying first class may not be as expensive as you thought. As airlines struggle to fill seats on their planes, many first class tickets are now much less expensive than they used to be. This means that for a hundred dollars more, you may be able to sit in first class. Below are some tips on how to afford first class tickets on domestic flights that will make you feel more comfortable during your travels:    - If you are a frequent flyer and have a favorite airline, you should join their frequent flyer club.
