I have enjoyed countless meals that did not include meat—enough that I often think I could live happily as a vegetarian. Then, along comes steak. Whether it is ribeye, strip, skirt, hanger, or filet mignon, a good cut of beef can be hard for this omnivore to resist. Besides, for my family, steak tends to be a treat for special occasions. I associate it with happy times.

Times are rarely happier than when we are flying. And while the classic $100 hamburger is generally worth every penny, isn’t an airborne outing with one’s family almost always worthy of an upgrade? The best part may be that you do not have to wander far from the airport—or necessarily leave the ramp—to find the cut of your choice.
