Lily Allen confessed she has booked herself a first class while her young daughter is sitting back in economy for an upcoming flight to London.The singer admitted she had chosen to sit apart from her 12-year-old while speaking to her childhood pal Miquita Oliver on their BBC podcast Miss Me?The 38-year-old explained she was returning to London for her friend's birthday with her daughter Ethel but the pair were not sitting together, the Mirror reports.She told Miquita, who celebrates her 40th birthday on Thursday: "We are flying to London today to come and see you for your birthday.

I'm going in first class, she's going in economy.""You know what that is?" Miquita as Lily joked: "Selfish?" Miquita continued: "The circle of life.

That baby is now coming to London because you live in New York for my 40th birthday, which we are having at the end of the road we grew up on." Lily said: "There's a trend at the moment on social media of people defiantly saying that they won't give up their seats for children on aeroplanes," to which Miquita agreed: "Fair enough.

Why would you give your seat to a kid if you paid for it? It's not like a train." However the Smile singer argued that airline passengers should be more mindful of families who haven't been seated next to each other.
