I really got a lesson in upgrades. I let my seat get chosen . Both times a middle seat...on purpose ...even when we were not full. That's petty I sat behind the first class . They got more than 1 drink ...and a snack . .and the staff actually talked to them...behind a see thru shawl/sheet in the aisle....... You could see over the seats just fine and you could hear the voices just fine. But the sheet let You KNOW. Your not welcome here. For a moment I regretted not spending 300 dollars per seat so I could see a smile and eat a sandwhich and enjoy my seat . The married couple drank champain and laughed and flirted with each other. It looked so happy and care free MONEY really does buy happiness ..the hateful glares and sighs from my seat mates brought me back to reality I wasn't rich and I still had 2 hours left in this middle seat.
