A WOMAN has gone viral after her boyfriend upgraded his plane seat to first class – and left her sitting in economy.

Tiktok user Ellie Tindall shared a video showing her boyfriend sat in first class on a flight with the caption: "When your boyfriend books himself first class but books you economy."

She set the background song as I Hate U by SZA, and mouthed the words: "If you're wondering if I hate you, I do," to emphasise her point.

The video has been watched 1.4m times and received thousands of comments from people who would not have been happy if they were in her situation.

One person wrote: "I would've broken up with him right there at the airport."

Another put: "Oh my lord, biggest red flag I have ever seen."

A third wrote: "Gosh girl, leave that man", and a fourth put: "Why are you still with him".

Others thought it was fine that her boyfriend took the upgrade and Ellie shouldn't complain.

Someone wrote: "Genuinely do not see an issue with this at all", and another person put: "Ain't nothing wrong with that".

Ellie replied to the comments to clarify that she told her boyfriend to take the upgrade and she wasn't actually annoyed.

She wrote: "He got upgraded and I told him to take it because he paid for the trip! We are happy, just thought this was funny.

"Y'all shouldn't take life so seriously."

In similar travel news, a man was slammed for upgrading himself on a 12-hour flight, but leaving his wife in economy.

A woman also divided opinion after she paid to upgrade her boyfriend to first class as a surprise, only for him to be furious.

And perhaps less surprising, four in 10 parents have admitted they would leave their kids in economy if they were given a free first class upgrade.
