This Saturday evening, I flew LHR-HEL in an economy class window seat. The flight was packed, but the seat next to me must have been blocked, because it was empty despite being close to the front. But not for long...
Sitting in the back of the plane there was a very rude and stupid man, who acted like an entitled five year old. One of his many BS complaints was that he was afraid of sitting in the back. What did the stewardess decide to do? Indulge him and move him next to the guy with gold status, of course!
I do not believe that having this card makes me untouchable, and I'm certainly not platinum. If I'm flying economy and I encounter some whackjob, I'm not going to blame the airline. But specifically *moving him next to me* felt quite disrespectful.
