A man has caused a stir on a long-haul flight after upgrading his seat to business class while leaving his wife in economy. The couple were travelling to the United States from Japan for a month-long vacation. When booking their tickets, they initially thought they would be sitting together. However, the man had the option to upgrade his seat to business class with miles and went ahead with it. His wife was not happy with the decision, feeling that he had chosen the luxurious seat over her. The man, however, saw no problem with the upgrade, stating that it was just a 12-hour flight and they would be sleeping most of the time. Is he the a**hole in this situation? Read on to find out.
