Finally, baby gets to get jiggled and poked and prodded and kissed and read to again tomorrow — we’re off to meet daddy!
So I have a bit of a dilemma. I’m getting a flight from Jakarta to Singapore, where S (the male one) joins the flight. I’m thinking of asking for an upgrade for poor pregnant lady, though I know the chances are about negative zero. In which case, do I then say, well, um actually I’m meeting my husband in economy, can you make sure we sit together?
If they are anything like the airlines here, you will be told by some very rude woman…..sorry flights full.
I think a two pronged approach. You ask from Jakarta, then when I check in at Sg I’ll say:
“Can you seat me next to my lover? She’s in business class.”
Then when they respond saying there is no Samantha Brown in Business, but there is one in econmy, I say:
“I’m sorry, there must have been a mistake — can you move my wife to business class to sit beside me?”
To which they may say:
“But sir, you’re in economy.”
To which I say:
“Oh please dear god, upgrade us both!”
I’m ready to cry in public.
