Seth,
I'd stick with Posh! ;-) Otherwise you'll screw-up the whole historical 
seagoing meaning of the word! ;-) Besides "POSH" has such a nice ring to it 
only "old world" passenger liner travelling folks would understand and 
appreciate. :-) These younger air travellers not likely have a clue in the 
meaning of the word.

Can't you imagine at the airline check-in counter telling the ground clerk, 
"I'd like "POSH SEATING!" ;-)
