Haha, no, this woman looked like she didn't have two pennies to rub together and definitely didn't speak English. There were a lot of locals on this Island Hopper flight who never flew before and were able to travel on it via subsidized tickets by foreigners like myself (it cost me $2000 for a roundtrip economy Guam-Kwajalein).
