Going west? United Airlines last week was hard-sell advertising its Royal Hawaiian Red Carpet First Class, in cluding Mai Tais, a filet mignon teriyaki, fancy desserts ("You don't have to pronounce 'em to enjoy 'em"), wide-screen color movies, and a stewardess in a tropical kimuu to pull on your slippers.
