I know that I am in the minority here, but I don't see why people can't travel a few hours without their SO by their side. I'd rather NOT sit by them at times. I like some peace and quiet.
My family, friends, and SO's have all known... I'll but them on the upgrade list, but if I get the upgrade and they don't, they are riding in the back.
I guess I am a jerk, but everyone knows this going in to travel with me.
