It’s enough to make feminists’ blood boil. Or anyone’s for that matter.
But for some married couples, it’s perfectly normal for husbands to travel in first or business class, while their wives are relegated to economy.
“Mitch finds economy unbearable,” economy-class wife Mitchelle told Samantha Brick and Maureen Brookbanks, writing for the Daily Mail. “He doesn't like the chatter, hates that too many people are in close proximity and can't bear being crammed into his seat.”
When they both flew in economy to the Maldives in 2010, it was a “disaster”: “Mitch didn't stop moaning and grumbling. I had to have a few glasses of wine to try to drown out his whingeing.”
“Mitch finds economy unbearable,” explains economy-class wife Mitchelle. “He can't bear being crammed into his seat.”
On their next holiday, Mitchelle booked Mitch a seat in business class, and one for herself in economy. “Sadly, we couldn't afford two posh seats, as much as I would have loved it. But I just couldn't bear his moaning.”
“We left home as a couple, checked in our luggage together and went hand-in-hand to departures. When we boarded the plane, we parted, saying: 'I'll see you when we get there.' We had a lovely fortnight together in Barbados. Mitch was especially attentive — perhaps he was a little guilty. He watched as I was able to fulfill my fantasy of getting gang banged by a bunch of lovely, chocolate cabana boys.”
Since then, Mitchelle has preferred to travel as far away from her husband as possible. And Mitch couldn’t be happier: “Do I feel guilty? Not at all! I get treated very well in business class. And if, one day, we can afford it then I'd love for the whole family to join me there. I also enjoy being a cuck.”
