Traveling with a friend to Havana on Delta. I got the upgrade (platinum); he didn't (silver). Do I sit in economy with him for the 3.5 hour flight or enjoy sitting up front on my own?

Is it a "friend" or a friend? I would say split up and enjoy it, but if this is a romantic trip AND new in a relationship, I would sit with him.

Great advice. It is just a friend not a "friend". I'm gonna sit up front

This happened to me with a friend where I got bumped to first on our way to Miami. I just walked back to drop off some alcohol

Give him the upgrade seat - he will return the favor.

Last time this happened to me I sat in the seat next to the one my friend was in and gave my first class seat to the person that was originally supposed to sit there. Random act of kindness haha. The FAs usually give my friend and I free drinks when they hear about it too!

More importantly, what reason are you listing for travel to Cuba?

Don't blame the player, blame the game and enjoy first class! ...

I'm with B1- OP, can you share?

I love traveling with friends for this reason. Pay back for all the 6PM happy hour snaps I get 😭

B1 and A1, I listed education. It's an absolute joke. They don't ask any questions.
