A 25-year-old man didn't get the response from Reddit that he hoped. He explained that he and his wife were flying to the US for a month on holiday, but when he was given the option to use his air miles to upgrade his seat to business class he did, leaving his wife in the economy section for the 12-hour flight.
The man was asking if he was 'being an a*****e,' saying his wife was upset and asked him to switch back to economy to sit with her. He says he refused, and over 2k comments on the thread were from outraged people asking how he couldn't realize he was being a jerk. In an update, he said he bought his wife an upgrade so she could sit with him in business class.
