Chapter 794: Can I Upgrade My Cabin?

After Wu Yue and Ding Gan boarded the plane, they instructed their team members to keep their hand luggage before they settled into their seats.

It was the first time that FV Club’s captain, Pan Ying, had taken a plane. After sitting down in his seat, he looked a little helpless.

“Are the seats on the plane that spacious? I thought they were similar to high-speed trains,” Pan Ying mumbled softly.

Wu Yue chuckled. “You wouldn’t say that if we were in economy class. Of course, there are more spacious first class seats, but there aren’t enough first class seats on the plane. What’s more, we shouldn’t be too extravagant, so we booked business class.”

First-class cabins were similar to private rooms. One first-class cabin was equivalent to six economy-class seats. The distance between the front and back was more than two meters. They could even roll down and sleep.

However, there were less than thirty first class seats. Wu Yue did not want to have a different treatment and did not want to waste too much money, so he did not choose it.

Business class was only slightly worse than first class, but there was not much difference.

While there were no individual private rooms, the business class cabin was a semi-independent space structure. It could be seen as a small cubicle with a certain amount of privacy. However, it was not like the first class cabin where the entire private room could be completely isolated from the outside world.

However, the seats in the business class cabin were still spacious. There was a huge table at the side. There was a huge screen in front and various interfaces at the side. The seats could also be placed 180 degrees. Thus, the experience was much better than economy class.

Everyone took their seats. The business class compartment separated everyone, making many players who were taking the first flight slightly flustered.

Pan Ying said, “Manager Lu, is there anything I should take note of? Is there anything that cannot be used?”

Manager Lu smiled. “Order whatever you want to eat. Ask the air stewardess if you don’t understand anything. Just say that it’s your first time taking first class. The air stewardesses are professionals. They won’t laugh at you.”

The air stewardess had already arrived just as he was done speaking. She offered drinks, hot towels, and various snacks.

The air stewardess squatted beside the seat. First, she handed a warm damp towel to wipe his hands and face. Then, she served a cup of lychee coconut milk. After that, she handed the menu over and specially instructed that if there were any special requests on the food.

Pan Ying flipped through the menu and was dazzled.

Previously, he had thought that the airplane meal was a standard box lunch. However, when he saw the menu, he realized that it was not a box lunch. There were many different types!

There were dishes like prawns, oranges, salads, etc.

There were exquisite main dishes, including pan-fried steak with roasted onions, asparagus and red-skinned potatoes topped with red wine gravy, or fried black cod with cherry tomatoes, roasted potatoes, and black olives;

There were cheese, fruits, desserts, seafood noodles, chicken cheese sandwiches, and Chinese desserts.

Apart from that, there was also a breakfast menu, including radishes and scrambled eggs, mushroom and soybean milk, fried dough sticks, chicken and mushroom fried noodles, bacon, pork intestines, pancakes, and so on.

The most amazing thing was that Pan Ying even saw instant noodles on the menu. Perhaps some passengers liked that.

Of course, apart from these, there were also various types of alcohol, including wine, champagne, and so on.

All in all, this menu had already dazzled Pan Ying. He did not know what to order.

However, he was not in a hurry. He still had a long time to consider before the plane took off.

After the plane took off, Pan Ying deeply understood the benefits of business class.

He could freely choose whether to rest or eat first. If he rested first, he could lie down and sleep. After waking up, the air stewardess would ask if he wanted food. If he chose to eat first, he would order dishes, appetizers, entree, main dishes, cakes, ice cream, and so on. If he ate slowly, it was normal to eat for two to three hours.

Once he was tired, he could lie down and sleep.

What was different from the economy class was that the seats in the business class could be laid flat at 180 degrees. There would be small blankets, pillows, pajamas, slippers, overnight bags, and so on. The experience of resting was completely different.

When he went to the bathroom to change into his pajamas and slippers, Pan Ying felt much more comfortable. Even though he was in the air, it was not much different from the sofa in his house.

The toothbrush, toothpaste, hand cream, and other toiletries in the overnight bag were all branded. Even the overnight bag was very exquisite and of high quality. Pan Ying did not know that such a small bag alone cost more than a thousand yuan.

Apart from that, some of the accompanying items were completely different from economy class.

Not only could the seats be completely flat, but they were also equipped with adjustable cushion-inflating systems. They could be automatically adjusted according to the size of the passengers to the most comfortable sitting position.

The earphones were high-quality noise-canceling earphones. They would immediately be immune to the roaring of the plane’s engine once they were put on.

The safety belt was a thick leather seat belt with filling. Not only would it be thicker, but it would also be safer.

The screen he was looking at was several times bigger than the one in the economy class. There was also a special remote control that could allow one to communicate with other business class passengers in real time.

Pan Ying was not sleepy at all. Thus, he began to order crazily after the flight attendant asked him about it.

Previously, when Pan Ying and the others won the qualifiers, Wu Yue had also invited them to a shopping mall near the venue for some good food. It was a Western restaurant that cost 400 yuan per head.

On the other hand, the food served in the business class cabin on the plane, be it the plate presentation or the taste, made it difficult for Pan Ying to think that this was an airplane meal. Instead, he felt that it was about the same standard as the food he had eaten at the western restaurant.

Pan Ying took two bites of the food and tasted the red wine. He felt relaxed and even wanted to stretch.

“Is it so comfortable to take a plane?”

“I can eat and sleep whenever I want for the next thirteen hours. I can watch movies whenever I want. It’s not tiring at all!”

…

On the other side, in the economy cabin.

Zhao Xuming had already put down his seat, but the economy class seat could only be lowered to 120 degrees. He still felt uncomfortable even if he used a U-shaped pillow.

After the plane took off, the air stewardess started distributing the meals. However, there were only two types of lunch boxes to choose from. No matter which one they chose, they would not taste good.

The narrow seats and the shaky small table made the meal less enjoyable. He had to be careful, afraid that the lunchbox or soup would spill on his lap.

There was naturally no pyjamas, slippers, toiletries, and so on.

The only good news was that everyone was seated together. They did not have to worry that their neighbor was a 200-pound fatty who was squeezing himself so tightly that they did not have any personal space.

Even so, the cramped economy cabin still made Zhao Xuming feel uneasy and regretful.

He regretted sharing the joys and sorrows with the members of these two clubs. He should have booked business class for himself!

He could only say that he did not think too much about it when he was booking the plane tickets. He felt that he could make do for the trip to Los Angeles. It would not be nice to get special treatment.

However, Zhao Xuming’s mentality collapsed instantly when he saw the 30 people from FV Club sitting in business class while he could only squeeze in the economy class.

A flight attendant happened to pass by. Zhao Xuming quickly asked, “Can I apply for a cabin upgrade now?”

The air stewardess had a professional smile on her face as she answered, “I’m sorry, sir. The first-class and business class for this flight are all filled. There are no more seats.”

Zhao Xuming was stunned. “No more seats?”

The air stewardess smiled and nodded. “Yes, I’m very sorry.”

Zhao Xuming was a little surprised. Logically speaking, there were often some empty seats in the first class and business class cabins because they were very expensive. It would be possible to pay to upgrade their seats.

However, FV Club had booked thirty business class tickets at once. Coupled with the fact that this was a popular flight to Los Angeles, there were no more seats left!

In other words, Zhao Xuming had no other choice. He could only squeeze in the economy class for more than ten hours and then get a good rest in Los Angeles.

Zhao Xuming’s lips twitched as he forced a smile. “Alright, thank you.”

His gaze reluctantly grazed the corridor, towards the business class cabin in front of him. He saw a stewardess smiling as she pulled the curtain between business class and economy class.

Zhao Xuming :”…”

He suddenly had an ominous feeling. This trip to Los Angeles would probably not end well…
