The People You Meet in First Class offers a compilation of stories and conversations and life changing events that occurred over a forty year period of flying as a passenger through observation and engaging others as a habit, while most travelers move with their head down, intent on arriving at their destination failing to notice the many wonderful, funny, and interesting things happening as close as the seat next to them. Hopefully the reader will be enlightened and aroused to begin self-discovery through personal observation and engagement with the world around them during their times of travel.
