<\/h2>\n<\/h2>\nI knew I didn\u2019t look my best. Fever, chills, a dry cough \u2014 they\u2019d all hit me the night before. But canceling the trip wasn\u2019t an option: the tickets were booked, the hotel was paid for, and my meetings were set. I had to pull myself together and get on that plane.<\/p>\n
I slipped into my window seat quietly, determined not to bother anyone. I set my water bottle down, kept some tissues within reach, and prepared to get through the next few hours as peacefully as I could.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u201cThis is impossible! He\u2019s been coughing nonstop! I don\u2019t have to sit here like this!\u201d<\/p>\n
A woman, maybe in her fifties, turned fully toward me, her expression tight.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u201cAre you sick? Why would you even get on this flight?\u201d<\/p>\n
I answered as calmly as I could:<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u201cI\u2019m sorry. I\u2019ll try to keep it down. I\u2019ll take some medicine. Maybe headphones could help if the sound is bothering you\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u201cI\u2019m not wearing anything! This is my trip, and you\u2019re ruining it!\u201d she snapped, drawing every pair of eyes in the cabin.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
A young flight attendant appeared with a polite but strained smile.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u201cGood afternoon, is there an issue?\u201d<\/p>\n
The woman leaned forward:<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u201cHe\u2019s coughing! He\u2019s not well! You need to do something! I paid for my seat!\u201d<\/p>\n
The attendant nodded, left, and returned shortly with a more serious expression. She had clearly spoken to the captain. That\u2019s when the woman\u2019s confidence began to waver.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u201cFor everyone\u2019s comfort and safety, we\u2019d like to offer a simple solution\u2026 you could switch seats.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u201cI\u2019m not moving because of him! I paid for this spot!\u201d<\/p>\n
The attendant turned to me and said gently,<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u201cIf you\u2019re okay with it, we can move you. There\u2019s one seat available.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u201cAbsolutely. If it makes things easier, I don\u2019t mind,\u201d I said.<\/p>\n
The woman smiled smugly.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u201cPerfect,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u201cThe only available seat is in business class. You\u2019ll have more space, a warm meal, and drinks. Please, follow me.\u201d<\/p>\n
I stood, and the cabin went quiet.<\/p>\n
As I passed the woman, her face froze, then shifted into something between shock and irritation. She mumbled under her breath, but no one paid attention.<\/p>\n
I settled into a wide, cushioned seat, wrapped myself in a blanket, and sipped hot tea with honey. A delicious dinner followed. The rest of the flight promised nothing but peace and comfort.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
