When you travel, you often find some fellow passengers very annoying. You can probably even make a list of which types of people prove to be very annoying during travel. But did you know that there is a sort of passenger that is extremely unpleasant among flying passengers? A flight attendant has recently revealed the worst customers of the airline. Let’s take a look.
In a recent media interaction, Suzanne Bucknam says that the customers that cabin crew fear the most are newlywed couples who are going on their honeymoon.
The former flight attendant has complained that recently married couples “think they are entitled to everything. Just because they are celebrating, it does not mean that others should also celebrate or participate in that celebration.”
Sometimes during airline travel, some passengers get a free upgrade, like a ticket from economy to business class. Aside from this, certain passengers receive complimentary refreshments.
Suzanne says, “If you get a free upgrade or free drinks, that’s great! But please do not ask for this from an unknown flight attendant. This is very strange. Moreover, giving freebies is against the airline policy.”
Suzanne once recalled that she had to move a couple “to a new flight because they demanded to sit next to each other on a previously booked flight. They were hoping for a complimentary upgrade by claiming their newlywed status, but the passenger seated next to them (quite rightly) refused their request.” The situation worsened when the husband raised his voice, after which he was taken off the plane.
“We did not want him to disturb this woman or sit next to her for the entire four-hour flight.” According to The Sun, Suzanne also cautioned that getting too close to your lover might result in more than just a fine.
Sometimes reverse incidents also garner attention. Earlier, according to The New York Post, passengers who were supposed to fly with Spirit Airlines had been waiting for over eight hours to board their delayed morning flight. Frustration mounted, and they began to question the source of the delay.
Meanwhile, a Spirit Airlines gate agent was telling passengers to “shut up” after they endured hours of delay. The event took place at Hollywood Burbank Airport in California. The clip went viral in no time.
Spirit Airlines later issued an apology, stating, “We apologize to our guests for this experience, which does not reflect Spirit’s high standards for guest services.” They confirmed that the two agents implicated had been suspended, according to The New York Post.
