Recently, a 32-year-old woman asked the AITA community to figure out if she was right or wrong in a conflict she had with her husband.

“My husband’s (33m) company recently chose him to attend a conference in Miami. They chose just him and a few of his co-workers out of a ton of candidates so it was quite the honor,” the woman wrote. Turns out, the attendees were allowed to bring spouses and partners, but they had to buy tickets for themselves.

At this point, the author realized she would have to fly coach, while her husband had a first-class seat provided by the company. This didn’t sit well with her, so she went on to pressure her husband to give up his seat for her like “a gentleman.”

Whether flying coach or first class, airline tickets seem to be more expensive than ever. Data released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Consumer Price Index recently showed that there was an 18.6% increase in airfare from March to April 2022 – the largest one-month jump in recorded history.

Moreover, airfare is up 33% in 2022 when compared to this time last year. That means that Americans are paying a third more for flights than they did a year ago. Higher fuel costs and enormous post-pandemic travel demand are among the factors to blame.

With the biggest planes packed to the max, it’s no wonder that customer satisfaction with airlines over the past year is at an all-time low, according to a J.D. Power survey published recently. The same survey showed that customer satisfaction dropped among travelers across all the ticket classes, coach, business and first class included.

Many people thought that the author was wrong to take her husband’s first-class ticket that his company provided for him

I like the part where a commenter mentioned that if she lives on such gender stereotypes, then she must also bring food for her husband whenever he gets home in a lipstick. Seriously, this woman is entitled AF, and she doesn't even get it. The husband is right to be pissed. And he should be pissed. I hope the woman realizes this soon.

Update from OP who also said she's a preschool teacher (yikes!): "I'm still here. I've read them all. I feel bad and I owe my husband a sincere apology. My thinking was too old-fashioned, but it wasn't born of any sort of evil thought." ETA quotations.
