everything off the flight (e.g. pillows, blankets, toilet paper, cigarettes, matches, magazines). She claims that they were of the mindset that a purchased ticket entitled them to everything (怕输) on board the aircraft, they even wanted her wings (not the ones for children, but the actual one she wore on her uniform). This was back in the 1970's.
Your friend should take a flight on SQ these days. I'm pretty sure she/he will be shocked to discover much has changed since "the good old B707" days.
