re: Mayor Cantrell off to Los Angeles on first class flight, "economy seats soldout"

I fly United 1st from Houston to SFO and back frequently, usually book my tickets less than a week before the flight, and I've never seen economy sell out faster than 1st. I've also never seen less than a $299 difference in fare cost between economy and 1st. And if it's booked last minute, 1st is usually way more expensive than economy. Someone thought up a very poor excuse for the mayor. It reeks of deceit.
Btw I don't care about the food and "status"... I have major flying anxiety about takeoffs and the larger seats in 1st help me feel less claustrophobic, less panicky and I have been able to cut my flying anxiety medication in half. If you have flying anxiety,
It's worth it to pay the extra $$$ to "upgrade" and actually be able to somewhat enjoy the flight. I'm also allergic to some perfumes and being stuffed in the back of the plane with 200 other people's cologne, perfume and Axe spray turns into a 4 hour cough fest for me, which was especially fun during covid getting all the evil eyes from other passengers who thought I was sick. It's much better when I'm only surrounded by 15 other people and don't have to walk past rows of perfume to get to my seat. I sat next to a pilot on one flight and he didn't even want a meal, he said the benefit for him was extra space and comfortable seats on a 4 hour flight. I like sitting next to pilots. Makes me feel safer.
