This Wednesday, May 1, 2013 photo taken at JFK airport in New York shows a first class seat set up for a passenger's meal in American Airlines' new Boeing 777-300ER airplane. Just as they've made first class more enjoyable with new seats, tastier meals and bigger TVs, airlines are focusing on easing the misery of airports for their highest-paying customers and giving them a truly elite experience. At a growing number of airports, special agents will meet these celebrities, high-powered executives and wealthy vacationers at the curb and will privately escort them from check-in to security to boarding.
