There are several ways to get an upgrade to a first-class seat on a flight.

For instance, if you are a frequent traveler and have collected enough miles on your credit card, you can easily get an upgrade.

This woman used her own miles and was upgraded to first class, but her boss thinks she deserves the upgrade more than her.

Now, the boss is playing the insubordination card.

AITA for not giving my boss my first class seat?

Yesterday, my boss and I were flying home from a conference.

We were on the same flight, but our original seats were not next to each other.

I’m a frequent traveller on this airline and use their credit card, so I often get free upgrades to first class.

This woman got upgraded to first class.

I got upgraded on this flight, and my boss did not.

After the flight, when we were collecting our bags, she said she wanted to talk to me about my “lack of respect for protocol.”

She thinks that because the company paid for my original ticket, and she is more senior than me, I should’ve given her the first class seat.

Now, she’s wondering if she should have given the upgrade to her boss.

I think this is absolutely insane.

While the company paid for my seat, it’s my own personal credit card spending, and frequent travel that earned me the upgraded seat.

Is this some sort of corporate standard I’m not aware of?

AITA?

Let’s find out what others’ reactions were.

What protocol, asks this user.

This one says her boss is a bully.

While this user says she did not do anything wrong.

LOL. Nice comeback!

Here’s a similar situation but a different ending.

She sounds like an entitled boss who doesn’t deserve an upgrade.

Plus they were her miles!
