There was no intention to keep it to myself and there certainly won't be any in the future if/when I react quicker. It's a gradually acquired knowledge
That contradicts what you stated in the 1st post when you stated
"I had not informed any of my traveling companions of the regulation, which they did not know about, during the 5 hours wait at the gate, and that I would most likely not be so discrete the next time"
How can it be that yoiu were discrete (though I assume you mean discreet) in not telling them whilst then claiming that you did not realise that there was entitlement at the time ?
