If so, did you hear the woman in First Class because she didn't have a window seat? She was swearing like a sailor and screaming at everyone. She acted like she had been put in steerage, rather than a center seat in BA New First Class.

Pffft, her silly fault for not selecting a window seat.

Was her name...Jewel, by chance? Should have told her that a window seat would have mussed her hair.

How awful, some people should get a grip, I would have swapped my window seat in an inferior cabin for her new first centre seat! Sounds like the kind of tantrum a certain well known supermodel would throw!

No idea of her name, but I know her travel agent's name is Carmen, because she was yelling at her travel agent over the phone.

Security had to come on board and they kept asking her if she wanted to leave the flight or wanted to stay. She kept stalling because I think she was hoping someone would volunteer his/her window seat (she kept eyeing mine.) Also, she had to call her travel agent and scream at her a bunch of times.

And how was she the rest of the flight? And how were the FAs towards her???

Typical Hollywood behavior.

Do-not-fly list has its purposes.

More likely it was in a box in an overhead locker.

I would have told her to put a sock in it before security arrived.

In fact if it got so bad that security had to be called then she should have been told to leave......no buts about it.

If she swore badly and constantly, then I would have demanded she be removed from the plane.

Who are they going to side with?

Still entitled and demanding. For example, while we were taxi-ing, she asked the Flight Attendant to turn on the TV so that she could watch the Oscars. The Flight Attendant politely told her that the Entertainment System would be activated once in the air (never mind that it doesn't show live tv.)

Then she seemed to have dozed off, but she was also some sort of incubus of bacterial glory. She seemed to have a cold and kept blowing her nose. After a while, however, it seemed like she didn't care about properly disposing of her tissues because when I woke up there were used tissues all around her seating area.

For breakfast, she ordered Rice Krispies with no milk and proceeded to eat them with her fingers. I have no issue with that. But what I do have issue with is the mess she made, because she wasn't too careful about keeping the rice krispies in her hand or in her mouth. I stepped on a few on my way to the toilet. Good thing there were no mice on the plane.
