[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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. [/quote]

This is us. I don’t think OP is a troll. Dh travel for work a lot and has very high status. When we vacation internationally, we often all get upgraded. Sometimes only he does. He’s over six feet, and economy is highly uncomfortable for him. Versus for me, I’ll live in the small seats. He would probably offer me the front seat, and feel quite guilty about it, but in the end he and I would both know where the decision was going. If it was a daytime flight, we’d probably debate splitting halfway through. But night time flight? I would just tell him to eat dinner and take a melatonin and sleep.  It’s fine! Someone should enjoy the free seat. [/quote]

Exactly this. It happened to my DH and me once. I told him to take the upgrade. He told the flight attendant where I was, and she brought me a glass of champagne during the flight. [/quote]

I'm the PP you're responding to, and I should have mentioned this: of course you send alcohol back! One time Dh and I went to Asia - he was already flying business class for work. We decided to use miles for me, but there was no business class left - only first and economy. We had zillions of points and hadn't traveled in years (young kids) so decided to blow out the bank and fly me on First.  I sent him back a $100 of Japanese whiskey to his lowly business class seat.....[/quote]

I love this.

My DH falls asleep as soon as the engines start. We only fly domestic, but we regularly buy him a coach ticket and me one in first class. Airline always laughs when I call to have them link the PNR's.[/quote]
