Woman Takes Plane Seat Upgrade And Leaves Ex With His Son After Breakup, Internet Defends Her

The woman explained she had been dating a man she named Matt for around one year and his child, who she gave the name Alex, was from a previous relationship.

A woman is going viral online for sharing that she took a business class upgrade for herself after breaking up with her boyfriend on a trip and leaving him and his son in the economy. In a Reddit post shared to the popular "Am I The A**hole?" subreddit, the woman detailed the inflight situation. She explained that she had been dating a man she named Matt for around one year and his child, who she gave the name Alex, was from a previous relationship. The couple had decided to go on a vacation and ended up needing to take Alex with them.

"The flights were over eight hours long and I have booked the tickets for all of us. During the flight and the [vacation] I have spent nearly all my time looking after Alex while Matt had the time of his life. Some things came to my attention (he was still seeing his ex) which resulted in us breaking up at the end of our stay," her Reddit post read.

In the post, the woman said that while flying back home a flight attendant approached her partner asking him if he would like to be upgraded to business class. The woman then chimed in to explain that she purchased the plane tickets using her own account, so the upgrade should go to her.
