<\/p>\nLet’s face it, some airlines are good and some are basically school busses that happened to have the capability of flight.<\/p>\n
There are some companies that really know how to treat their customers, but there has to be a point where a company tells a customer that they are not in fact “always right”.<\/p>\n
Give you an example. I had to fly about six months ago to tend to a family matter and on what was supposed to be the return flight home there was some sort of weird overbooking issue.<\/p>\n
They asked for volunteers that would take a later flight. With family being a half hour from the airport and working remotely it wasn’t exactly a tough decision for me to raise my hand.<\/p>\n
I did it so quickly that I didn’t even think to ask what I was getting for volunteering. As it turns out, I was getting the cost of my flight refunded, and I was being upgraded to first class.<\/p>\n
Plus they gave me some meal voucher to use in the airport. The flight was originally supposed to be for the next day, but there was an opening where I was able to leave the same day only three hours after my original departure time.<\/p>\n
So I basically got paid several hundred dollars to eat a really nice meal, and then eat another really nice meal in a comfortable chair.<\/p>\n
However, if I had paid for a coach ticket and suddenly demanded they bump me to first class without paying extra and no overbooking issue to content with they would look at me like I was crazy.<\/p>\n
Some folks don’t understand that. Especially if they are folks with a small modicum of fame.<\/p>\n
There was a story recently that I heard about that just boggled my mind. There was a plus sized woman named Jaelynn Chaney who does travel and lifestyle content.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
However, she recently boarded a plane where she was clearly too big for one seat, so the airline wanted to charge her for the second seat. I mean it’s only fair.<\/p>\n
Now, it’s not the airlines fault that this woman couldn’t put down the fork. It’s not their fault she didn’t have self control.<\/p>\n
However, that isn’t stopping her from trying to get a law passed where “plus-sized” travelers can get the extra seat for free if they need it.<\/p>\n
You know, that’s like calling your cable company and telling them you want all the premium channels for free but you are not going to pay for them.<\/p>\n
It’s not like she doesn’t know she needs an extra seat. Why should the airline give her something for free?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Let’s face it, some airlines are good and some are basically school busses that happened to have the…\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":1022,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1019","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-viral","8":"cs-entry","9":"cs-video-wrap"},"yoast_head":"\n
