I'm a mom who flies in business class while my family stays in economy. We see it as a lesson on feminism.

Article here. Excerpt:

'Amid the cacophony of boarding passengers, my husband waved at me, leading our two boys, ages 5 and 7, towards Economy while I turned left into Business Class. A flight attendant cast a surprised glance, undoubtedly questioning why I was sitting apart from my family.

Recent viral TikToks and articles have sparked debates about the fairness of fathers sitting solo in Business or First Class while their wives and children remain in Economy. Being inherently contrarian, I decided our family would flip the script and do just the reverse on a recent 12-hour flight from London to Mauritius.

Indeed, the setup was unconventional, but there was a method to the perceived madness. It wasn't about embracing luxury for the sake of it. Instead, it was about my boys witnessing their mom confidently relishing a different space on the plane, thereby understanding that traditional norms and expectations should not confine a woman's place. I want them to grow up understanding that women, too, can independently "turn left" onto a plane. And can do so alone.'
