It didn't ruin anything for me -- I really thought it was pretty funny. Yes, I had an F boarding pass, suite 1A. I don't know what she saw when she punched my name in the computer. It must have been some kind of non-revenue indication that she had never seen before.
Perhaps I should have said, "listen, I'm getting in this lounge. Don't you know who I am? No, I'm not famous or important, but I am a
