I just got off of a flight, it was about 40 minutes in the air, and there were people who paid to upgrade to 'first class' for a 40 minute flight.

I'd rather be peasant class than so weak that I couldn't stand 40 minutes sitting 6 inches closer to the person next to me.

How do you know they paid? When I was a frequent flier I'd always get upgraded on short flights because... No one paid for first class on those flights but the airline could consume an upgrade.
