Going on a trip can cause mental anguish if the traveler has difficulty with the almighty first class upgrade. Sometimes it's better for some people to stay in coach where they belong. I just so happen to be one of those people. The first thing that recently annoyed my husband was when I asked if he thinks the first class blanket would look nice in my chihuahua's kennel. I have two chihuahuas, so...
