Every time I fly First, the best part of it is that the attendants are non-intrusive. If I were to go and convert that into an interrupt-driven experience I think it would be a massive downgrade.
"Yes, I'd like to be woken for meals alone, please". Lie down, effectively teleport a few thousand miles away, wake up to eat, teleport the rest of the way. One time, I was so tired I just went to sleep in London and woke up in San Francisco. Captain Kirk had nothing on me. The plane was a teleportation chamber.
Now I'm sure the thing that many people like is talking to flight attendants, but personally when people wait on me I prefer it completely in the background with a minimum of questions and interruptions.
> actually pleasant to interact with the flight attendants. They have nice things to share, like snacks, drinks, and food
I'm generally a book and chat flier. But most people aren't. And I'm not all the time. My limited rebuttal is to the claim that for some reason front cabin passengers won't want an escape.
Hell, I could see e.g. Delta having a VR stream that makes it look like you're super-manning when laying flat.

Personally, the best chats I have had were near the back of a partially full flight. The ones in first and or business rate right up there.
I like to talk with the crew when they want to. One learns all sorts of stuff and or just talks right through a long flight over before one knows it.
