[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I normally fly business (often with free upgrades, points etc), while my wife flies coach with the kids. I will come back occasionally to chat, but I prefer it up towards the front, it is what I am used to.[/quote]

Why is your wife automatically in charge of the kids, while you come back occasionally?[/quote]

Because the children are in coach.[/quote]

How does your wife feel about this arrangement?

Could you take turns sitting in the business class seat- she gets it for half the flight, you get it for the other half?

[/quote]

She isn't super happy about it, but she doesn't make a fuss. I earn the miles because I am the one that travels. I guess we could swap halfway through, but [b]I really don't like coach[/b], so I am not sure it would make any sense.[/quote]

Lol what a jerk. You think she likes coach any more than you do? Do you also consider it to be "your money" since you're the one who earned it?

Just be glad you're not married to me. I'd make a fuss, but then again, my husband wouldn't book a business class ticket by himself while traveling with his family. He's not a jerk, see.[/quote]

It is not about being a jerk, it is about what makes sense. We couldn't afford for all six of us to fly business. So one of us has to be with the four kids. My wife doesn't really drink, whereas I enjoy having a few bourbons while flying, so it therefore makes sense for me to be up front. And, let's face it, I am the one who makes the money. If it was left to her they would be driving to Ocean City in a station wagon, not flying to Hong Kong for the New Years Celebrations![/quote]

You are lucky you are not married to my wife.  I once got the whole family upgraded (yay recession/empty planes).
Otherwise, I would get her upgraded, at sit with the kid.[/quote]
