Totally agree even when my flight landed the IFM informed all passengers to remain seated as they will be deboarding by seat number. As soon as the seatbelt sign went off almost all of the CE and a few ET passengers got up before any announcement was made. The announcement was remade and everyone sat done except for an old guy and his wife had to tell him multiple to sit down. The IFM then gave approval for all CE passengers(6 rows) to get up, at that point 3/4 of the aircraft began immediately got up. Why do people find it difficult to follow simple instructions from those in authority?

One of the two said, with a wry smile, "I have flown with her several times but I'm afraid I cannot comment on those rumours because I never spoke to her myself. We always dealt with her assistant who spoke on her behalf". That was about the most diplomatic response anyone could have mustered to my question and yet answered it accurately

So the story is, this lady would not talk to the crew and all questions had to go through her husband. One fed up crewmember when told that they had to do this replied I know Miss ….. cannot sing but I didn’t know he couldn’t speak. 😂😂😂😂
I very much doubt this is true but I would love to believe it. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

Ted Cruz's exact words to a United employee at Bozeman airport were "do you know who I am?!"
It is beyond me how anyone that says this somehow thinks it is going to get them better treatment.

I happened to be flying on the day that Liverpool's second favourite female redhead entertainer kicked the bucket. I was sat just across from Lionel Richie who was achingly nice to anyone that approached him...(this was a 747 on LHR-JFK and the guy in 1A asked for a photo before we'd even pushed back!). Mid way through the flight I happened to be chatting with the crew in the front galley and asked, given the news of the day and Mr. Richie's impossibly friendly temperament, whether the rumours about a certain Ms. White were true.
One of the two said, with a wry smile, "I have flown with her several times but I'm afraid I cannot comment on those rumours because I never spoke to her myself. We always dealt with her assistant who spoke on her behalf". That was about the most diplomatic response anyone could have mustered to my question and yet answered it accurately

So her legacy lives on in the DYKWIA world, it seems.

Having flown into LHR on F and connected up to GLA on a number of occasions I have always been permitted to use the CCR prior to my GLA flight rather than using the Galleries F lounge. has the policy changed recently?
