Sometimes with snacks packed from home, sometimes with a neck pillow clipped to her carry-on, sometimes wedged between two strangers who both believed the armrest belonged to them. She knew the art of making herself small.At five feet tall, she had spent most of her life making herself small.But not today.Today, she was in first class.Today, her seat had more room than she knew what to do with.
