Outrage as woman “upgrades” herself on flight

When you’re 40,000 feet in the air a little bit of courtesy goes a long way. And while most people seem to share this, there’s always one passenger on a flight who hasn’t received the memo.

News.com.au reports the woman had booked standard seats on her Air Asia flight from Kuala Lumpur to Hong Kong, but decided to give herself a bit of an upgrade.

But premium economy passengers whose seats she took didn’t take too kindly to her actions.

Fellow flyer Bruce Lam says she spend “four or five minutes” arguing with the cabin crew before returning to her seat, but kept coming back for the better ones.

What are your thoughts?
