“Of course, move me! I don’t want to listen to this for the whole flight!” — the woman beamed with satisfaction.

I nodded:

— “Alright. If it helps, I don’t mind.”

— “Perfect,” the flight attendant said. “The only free seat is in business class. There, you can relax. Dinner and drinks will be served. Please follow me.”

I got up, and for a few seconds, there was complete silence in the cabin.

As I walked past the woman, I caught a glimpse of her face — it first froze, then twisted with anger and jealousy. She muttered something, but no one was listening anymore.

I settled into a wide, comfortable seat, received a blanket, hot tea with honey, and later a delicious dinner. A few hours of peace and comfort lay ahead.
