"I paid £4000 for my ticket!"

[AirHostess]

Had a grumpy passenger travelling on a 30 minute domestic flight today.

It was PACKED and I could tell he was a grump as he threw his coat at me and demanded I hang it up. He was pretty rude so I said there was no room in the wardrobe even though there was as I couldn't be bothered to act like his personal valet. He then complained about the audacity of having to FOLD! his coat. Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo the world is going to end.



HE THEN went off on a rant and how he paid £4000 to travel in Business Class to Sydney, how he was a Qantas gold card holder and how he expected Business Class on a 30 minute domestic flight as he had bought a Business Class. Even though we have never had business class on domestics. Our website will tell you that.

He was sat in row one, plenty of legroom....what did he want? A bed? Champagne? Lobster?

I just walked off and left him too, can't be bothered to pretend that I care about the problems of these pathetic little people anymore!

Would someone really be paying that much for such a short domestic flight? or was he just being a jackass?

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

So in U.S. Dollars, that would be....significantly more than $4,000. All for a 30-minute flight.

Suuuuure, buddy. If you're going to lie, at least make it believable.

£4000 for a 30 minute domestic flight? Dude got ripped off. XD

[crazylegs]

The 4K was for the flight to Sydney, I'm guessing he was expecting that to carry some weight (even though his gold card is for another airline).

[jerkface11]

He probably got his ticket from one of those websites that lets you name your own price.

I think that he wanted me to kiss his feet and transform the plane into Concorde.

He looked used to having people be subservient to him and he was getting none of that from me.

[AirHostess]

Oh I should add he meant London-Sydney was his longhaul route, he hopped on at London again for his domestic flight And it cost £4000 in total. I have no idea what that £4000 had to do with the 30 minute flight to Manchester.

[crazylegs]

transform the plane into Concorde.

What, can't you do that?

[NightWatch]

I'm sure if Ms. Princess owned an XBOX, she'd had significant enough Magicka or imagination to have confidence in her Transformation abilities...

I'M NOT A GEEK!!!

"Oh, so sorry sir, the magic moths have escaped the cargo hatch and seem to have taken a liking to your coat"

"Rawr rarw grrr laskdfsdkfj"

"Oh, sorry sir.. There's a asshole limit per plane, and since we've already met our quota, you'll have to catch the next plane that has an asshole opening."

"blargel glarb rofgrr"

"Ta ta, and thanks for flying with us!"

/shut door.

People will purchase a first/business class flight from, say Louisville, Kentucky to Paris, France.

This, of course, entitles them to be in first/business for the over-the-water leg and first on the domestic leg, assuming that the aircraft HAS a first class cabin.

If there is no first class cabin on the domestic leg, they must *gasp* sit in coach.

Most people seem to understand the concept that you can only sit in first when there is a physical first class cabin on the aircraft.

Unfortunately for Katie, it looks like her guy expected her to go build one her self.

Asshole.

For a half-hour flight?! You can't serve anything in that short of a flight.
I'll be happy if the flight is on time and the lavatories work (just in case).

I've seen "enhanced" accommodation of some kind or another even on short-haul flights. It might be as simple as a curtain drawn across the cabin, dividing the "basic" service from the "slightly less basic" service, which might mean free drinks and snacks.

Pretty sure he was full of crap about that for his ticket too, a round trip first class ticked Sydney to London is $7657, which is about 3000 pounds.

First and Business class is nice and all, but I can think of other things I'd spend several thousand on when I get to my destination.
