Tweet of the Week: God Only Flies First Class

May 4, 2010 at 5:15 PM | by | Comments (2)

We love Tuesdays. Why, you ask? Because the day brings many travel tips and quips as "Travel Tuesday" on Twitter, and we're going to share our favorite with you. Got an avid travel twitterer we should follow? Let us know.

Even though you'd think that God would travel amongst his people in economy class, in your heart of hearts you know that he totally doesn't. Organized religion rides in style, as writer Amy S. Choi (@AwesomeChoi) discovered on her Lufthansa flights from NYC to Frankfurt today:

2 nuns sitting in first class on Lufthansa flight from NY to Frankfurt. i need to get in on that business.

She's not the only one to have spotted the literally holier than thou in the higher airline classes; we've seen many a minister rolling their Travelpros down the First Class breezeway line, and each time we're reminded that travel is a business expense, and the Church is—after all—a business. Too bad Amy didn't note exactly what church they're from, because then perhaps Lufthansa could put a few adds in the back of their hymnal.

If they're nuns, they are likely of a Catholic or Orthodox order. It is entirely possible that they weren't doing it on the dime of their order. I've sat next to plenty of priests and nuns on flights. Particularly to and from Ireland and it was always coach. But fair play to them for getting the benies! The last nun I sat next to on the way to Ireland was coming from the US to an annual convention and paid her own way.

Hard to call

I regularly give up my first class upgrades to military in uniform, or older folks, or single moms with a kid. Maybe a couple needed a little divine help and thought giving up their seats would garner a bit.
