Diamond perks nabbed on plane?
Yes, I know, First World problems but this is a new one. I get a blanket, pillow and water on my seat as Diamond. Today I was late boarding (the Pier said it was not boarding 🤔🤔🤔
and when i got to my seat, only a pillow. It became obvious a bit later that the person in the seat next to me had nabbed the water and the blanket. (She did give the water back when I asked for it!).
Anyone else had this? Not seen it before but generally I am one of the first to board......

Grabbing the bottled water off your seat is a bit aggressive!
I sometimes take extra pillows but only after the door has closed or Ive confirmed with crew the seat is empty.

Exactly! I ask her if she had "seen my water"? At which point she said "oh, was it yours?" and gave it back (unopened at least). Bizarre.

[QUOTE=cxwaterboy;36682275]Does she know who you are?

Something along the lines of "I've also paid for my ticket so why don't I get water & a blanket when that guy next to me does"?
