DH upgraded to business class on overseas flight, left me in coach

[Anonymous]

Just a vent: we had a great trip overseas and by fluke or luck, arrived at airport to notice he had been upgraded on our flight home. I was not. We asked the gate agent, who just stated it may have been a “systems issue” and that, she could put us both in coach, but couldn’t upgrade us both. DH didn’t think twice about taking the business class seat or offering it to me.

Coach was full of crying babies, loud, and far from the champagne and snacks of my DH’s experience. DH texted me a picture of a plate of cheese.

I think I’m going to let him do the vacation laundry when we get home.

Why didn't you use your words and ask him for the seat?

It would have been handled better if he would have turned to you and said let’s take it and trade off. Or sat in coach with you of course.

This. It seems like these posts are getting more stupid by the day.

Oh stop. My dh would have never done this to me and I would not have done this to him. It's not the communication in this case it's the fact that he didn't hesitate to accept without even thinking that it would have been the kind thing to do to take the two coach seats so they could be together. And texting a picture of the cheese plate is just mean!

There can be crying babies in any section of the plane.

Someone might as well take advantage. It's not like he paid extra to upgrade just himself. It was a fluke. Airplane time is not exactly loveliy time to chat . Trading half way through would be the best option.

Husband “accidentally” gets upgraded to business class and texts you a picture of cheese plate.

Troll grade C- Get a life.

Yes I think splitting half way would’ve been most fair. Unless DH has status from lots of work travel

Same. People are so dense sometimes. It's not the seat that matters, it's the lack of consideration.

Adding that I do think this is a troll post though

As a husband, I would have offered the seat to my wife. But she would have said no because she’s smaller than me (and doesn’t need the extra space in first class) and doesn’t drink (and therefore can’t take advantage of the free drinks). And if I said “let’s sit in coach together,” she would have said no (and meant it) because it’s passing up a good deal and because there’s no reason for both of us to suffer.

Far fewer people pay for BUSINESS class for their babies, but then, you already knew that.

This was a Seinfeld episode (minus the marriage and the text).
