Wives and children should travel Economy — and husbands should go De Luxe
ILLUSTRATION BY JOSEPH G. FARRIS Wives and children should travel Economy — and husbands should go De Luxe pany of children that stay up all night. Economy is half the price of De luxe. Since both classes arrive at the same time, I suggest, in order to save money, wives and children should travel Economy, and husbands should go De luxe. In my case this was vetoed as soon as it was presented, and I was forced to travel in Economy class, which is a very sobering experience, even at thirty-seven thousand feet. As I mentioned before, Economy class has three seats across on each side of the aisle. While this serves the purpose of Pan American very well, it does present problems to the passengers. It is very rare that three people are traveling together, and most people are either traveling alone, in twos, or in fours. The main problem when traveling with another person is which two out of three seats to take. My wife was all right, since she had two of the children on her side of the aisle. But I was stuck on the other side with my six-year-old son. He chose to sit next to the window, I sat in the middle, and a stranger was foolish enough to sit on the seat on the aisle. As soon as everyone had eaten and the stranger had dozed off, my son said, "I have to go." "Why didn't you go before the lights were turned out?" "I didn't have to go then," he replied. My son woke up the man by the simple process of almost breaking his leg. When we returned after several runs up and down the aisle, we woke up the stranger again to get back in the seats. An hour later my son, after playing with the light, the air conditioning, and the buzzer for the stewardess, declared, "I want a drink of water." "You don't need a drink of water," I whispered. "I do too," he cried. Having the choice of either waking up the stranger or everyone else on the plane, we chose the former, and once again pushed our way over his tangled feet. LATER MY SON said he wanted to tell his mother something. "Tell her when we get to Paris." "I want to tell her now." "Shout it to her." "It's a secret." This time when the stranger was awakened, he was pretty mad. "Why don't you sit by the window," I suggested, "and we'll sit on the aisle." He grunted, mumbled a few words, and moved over next to the window. I stayed in the middle, and my son was placed on the aisle. Finally the boy went to sleep, and so did I. But after a half-hour we were both rudely awakened. The stranger was trying to get past us to the aisle. "I have to go," he explained apologetically. It's enough to make a man bring his own flask.
