Ned Levi thought purchasing airline tickets with upgraded economy seating would be easy. It wasn’t. Ned discusses the difficulties he encountered purchasing airline tickets, with upgraded economy seating, through a travel agent, and also directly on an airline website.

It came serendipitously at the same time I met with friends who had just returned from a trip to Buenos Aires and Patagonia where they had a chance, while in the city, to learn a bit about Tango.
