What do people think about someone letting an 8 year old fly in F with both parents in the back? She's flown a lot, and behaves great on a flight. I figured I'd tell her 1 strike you're out, and ask the FA to alert me if she causes a problem, and she's back in coach with me.
I'm more confused about using my pre✔️ Without them. |

I don't think this is sexist at all. Blame the sexist business world for typically sending men all over the world and collecting miles/points/status. If I was traveling all over the world and collecting miles/points/status as a woman, I would bump him up over myself on our one or two vacations a year too!

Different cabin???
My husband is getting sent to quite a few different countries lately. Occasionally I get the chance to join him (hotel is booked and paid for after all). He flies direct, usually in Economy. Me? I go by the cheapest route, a longer journey with a different airline. Last fall his booking was changed from KL then to OZ and finally to BA in their "Dream"liner. He still shudders. My TK trip to ICN was perfectly blissful in comparison and a third of the price it would have cost to sit next to him. Even on our leisure trips, it's rare that we have the chance to fly out together. I book according to my daughter's school timetable, he books according to his work schedule. It's a crapshoot. |

My wife and I were at the head of the line for upgrades ORD-PEK on AA about ten months ago. The gate agent asked me "If only one becomes available, who gets it?" I replied without hesitation "She does." He said "Right answer!" with a big smile and, a while later, gave us two. I have no idea what he would have done had I said something else, but he clearly approved.

There's an old saying: happy wife, happy life. Many guys give their upgraded seat assignment to their lady.

That's about the only way this would work. I went through a fast track security line once without my wife and she's never forgotten it.

I made the mistake once of sitting in F (battlefield upgrade) while wife was in Y. And, I hear about it every vacation we've gone on since and it's going on 10 years ago.

Sometimes, my mom tags along with my dad for his business trips, and since he has to head to meetings straight off the plane, she insists that he take his paid for business class ticket so he can have a productive meeting. Her reasoning is that it's more important for him to be well rested so he can work to provide for the family while for her, it's a purely pleasure trip.
Though for the most part, my parents rarely travel together as they have different schedules, and they'd prefer the house to not be left alone for too long if they can help it. |
