I loved it. Large, comfy seat. Free drinks, nice meal/snack, good service, no baggage fee. I should add this was all pre-Covid, so not sure what may have changed, check the airline’s website. These were approx 3 hour Flights in the west. Also 20+ years ago on another airline (St. Louis to DC), can’t remember what airline that was.

I’d say it’s worth it if:

You are a larger person
You are a person with a disability
You have a ton of mileage points and want to upgrade as a treat for yourself
You get a really good deal on first class ticket
Money is no object and you want a nice experience

Also, take into consideration baggage fees in your ticket cost.

However you go, enjoy your visit!
