The stewardess asked someone to switch because Ivana always travels in first class.
Why would anyone agree to this unless she was being disruptive? I mean, I have switched seats (within coach) to allow couples or mothers/kids to sit together, but that's a whole different ball of wax than giving up a first class seat just so Ivana Trump (probably flying home after a gig hawking cheap jewellery on QVC) can sit up front?

Is there any way we can send in an FT nomination for the No Fly List?

To the flight attendant for even asking...

If the compensation was right, I'd gladly give up my seat in F.

You have a colon on the end of your url... delete it and the link will be fine.

And Ivana has a colon on the end of her url, but it can't be deleted- it's permanently attached.

Do airlines give compensation for giving up your seat mid-flight? Short of Ivana paying off my mortgage (I think I'd take cash upfront thank.you.very.much for *my* seat.)

Poor thing, I don't blame her to fear being downgraded and slum it like the rest of us coach roaches on a three hour flight...

Why isn't the name of the airline mentioned in the story?

CO isn't mentioned, but I don't think anyone else flies the route with an F cabin.
