Travel Hack: How To Score A Poor Man's First Class Ticket

I talk a lot about loyalty to an airline or two (or three). But if travel DJ life is more of a "one off" than the norm, loyalty to a specific airline might not always be possible. I also talk a lot about the need to be well rested and at your most optimal peak-performance self at travel gigs. Without a first class ticket, this might be tough when you're sitting in the back or in the middle seat (or worse, both) with limited or zero recline options (yes, I realize these are first world problems). Or maybe you're flying to an industry event or conference this year and want an elevated flying experience. This is where this hack can come in handy. In this short (under 6 minutes) episode, I give you a hack to having a first class type of experience without paying for it.
