Classic: Oh the FWP.

My husband and I both are status holders on an airline and have flown first class many times on upgrades. An issue arises, however, when we fly together. It started last year when, based on check-in time, he was offered an upgrade to first class and took it, leaving me sitting in coach without even a thought. I had a pounding migraine and was very ill. I did not want the upgrade; I wanted him to sit with me…

    If your H is jumping to every upgrade and is not consulting with you first then you have an issue.

    But you need to use your words if you want him next to you while you sleep.

    Or stop booking red eye flights with him.

    This is so dumb - H and I would do the same as her H without question. BS that she didn't want him to offer the upgrade to her (which would have been nice of him, but not necessary).

    I'm on Team "always take the upgrade" if it's free or low cost, even if that means they can't sit together.  But would be super pissed if it was always my H getting the upgrade and he always hogged it for himself.  Especially for a flight I was feeling extra crappy for.  Because more comfort is even more important, when you don't feel well.

    But he's not that kind of person and I'm going to brag now about him, lol.  If he gets a window seat and I get the middle, he'll offer me the window seat.

    He always asks at the gate about paying a little extra for first class.  It has never been successful.  But I know he does it, not for himself, but for me.  He's ridden in first class before for previous jobs he's had, but I never have.  He keeps asking because he wants me to experience it.

    I think what's odd to me is the LW saying how frequent this is on the red eye flights and she needs him by her.  If this is the case then she needs to make it clear to him in advance OR come up with an agreement like if he takes the upgrade then he takes her purse for safe keeping while on the flight so she can nap.  I'm not sure what other concerns she has for her safety.

    Honestly I’m stuck on “I always sit in the middle so he can have the aisle.”  Nonsense like this makes me wish sexual orientation was a choice.

    LW - they're called words - USE THEM!  

    (As for me, I'm team "Take the upgrade when you're given the chance even if it means not sitting together!" LW seems like a special one...)

    Also they're getting upgrades from BUSINESS Class to first class.  She's not even in economy seats.  I can't even with the BS.

    All those "other" travelers that may want to interfere with her sleep!
