I recently was on a flight from Honolulu to California. (I made platinum on that flight).

I decided to pay $250 to upgrade at the airport to first class. It was a 5-hour flight.

Due to an unnamed difficulty - there was no IFE on the flight. (If they'd announced it earlier I would have purchased a book...)

I didn't eat the meal, and asked for a can of the Pringles, they asked me for $2.

Is this typical?
