His reaction was captured in a video shared by his wife Dominique Parrish ( ), a 38-year-old family travel content creator based in Raleigh, North Carolina. The clip has amassed 2.

..I was invited to be on their first flight to create content," the poster told A message overlaid on the clip reads: "POV [point of view]: You got , but your husband didn't.
.." The footage shows the poster sitting in first class with a drink in her hand.
The camera then pans towards the back of the plane, capturing her husband's face seen through a slit between curtains. The husband appears annoyed with a stern stare as he looks at the camera before the clip ends. While first-class seating may be seen as the epitome of luxury in air travel, some airlines have been reducing their first-class offerings because of a drop in demand.
In October 2022, said it'd be getting rid of first-class seats on international flights, swapping them instead with business class seating, which more passengers are willing to pay for. In a conference call with investors, Vasu Raja, then the airline's chief commercial officer, reportedly said "The first class will not exist..
.at American Airlines for the simple reason that our customers aren't buying it," according to . Raja noted: "The quality of the business class seat has improved so much.
And frankly, by removing [first class] we can go provide more business class seats, which is what our customers most want or are most willing to pay for," CNN reported at the time. Delta Air Lines and United have also both reportedly nearly halved their first-class seats. Parrish told : "At the last minute, we were for two seats.
Being a family of four, initially I wasn't sure how we would split the seating, and they suggested we split with one adult/one child and switch halfway through. "So that is what we did. This gave me the ability to take the content I needed and enjoy half the flight, then switch.
But when I could see my husband through the curtain it gave me the idea for the video. And on the way back, our whole family was upgraded," she noted. Users on TikTok were in stitches over the husband's reaction in the viral clip.
"HAHAHA!!!!!! The fact that he can see you through the little tiny crack!," said stellasullivan660. MalNGsd said "He looks mad-mad. Look back at him again.
." "That glare..
.the betrayal was diabolical," noted smitdogff. Another said the wife should have said "Hmm Excuse me Flight Attendant, can you CLOSE the Current, there is a Glare coming through.
" Lucila wrote "I would have gotten up and closed it [the curtain]" and one user noted "You don't need that kind of negativity in your life. Have them close the curtain.".
