It is worth the $25 to NOT hear the following:

2. Why AREN'T we sitting in an exit row?
3. Why aren't we sitting together?
4. (an hour later) Why aren't we sitting together?
5. Repeat steps three and four. (See a pattern?)
6. Are we getting upgraded to first class?
7. Why aren't we sitting in first class this time?
8. We got upgraded to first at the gate but our seats aren't together, what are we supposed to do?
9. Wait for me when you get off the plane (as if I am going to run away and leave her)
10. Who am I supposed to talk to during the flight? (that's the sucker's problem sitting next to her)
11. I brought five magazines. What will I do when I have read them all during the two hour flight?
12. How many drinks are you going to have on the plane? (answer: enough to drown out the whining)


I love my wife.
^ this is the story of my life plus the added "I'm not going if my upgrade doesn't clear" despite having seats 31AB on the 777. I also made the mistake of telling her about FEBO so I also get something along the lines "If they run out of Filet by the time they get to me I'm not going to be happy." God forbid she just be happy she's going on vacation or that she isn't getting the slop thrown at her in Y.
