Yes - that is why I downgraded (also I had two associates on the plane as well traveling with us). Giving him the upgrade would have been awkward so it was just better to explain that it was an op up. He's a pretty savvy traveler and knows how these things work.

He ribbed me about the young lady, I told him my wife thinks I always sit next to beautiful women when I fly, he said he'd be sure to tell her that I did when he met her and i said that ain't gonna happen. We got a good laugh out of it.
