Long long time ago .... in our business class:))

I've heard this story years ago when I started flying from one of the senior crew (Ken) , he has since left the airlines. Had meant to share this story but kept forgetting. Yesterday when I was talking to another colleague, his name came up & I immediately remember this cute story. So here it is, before I forget again!

This happened long ago when the airlines had just started the business class. People were still new to it. Ken was just a new flight attendant back then. It happened on a flight to Japan. He first saw the male passenger, a typical uncle type , sitting in the wrong seat. Lets call him Mr X.

Ken politely asked for his boarding pass.
Mr X: I'm in the right seat !
Ken: I'm not questioning that sir, it could be a problem with the booking system.
Mr X reluctantly took out his boarding pass. Ken then realized the man is not only in the wrong seat, he's in the wrong section.
Ken: Mr X, you are actually booked in our business class, up front.
Mr X : Business? I'm not traveling on business. I'm visiting my daughter.
Ken: Mr X, business class is not just for business travelers. The seats have more room, quality of service is higher.You are supposed to be in a much more expensive seat sir.
Mr X: My son-in-law bought the ticket, I don't know anything about that, but I'm settled in right here, thank you! I've taken out my medicine, my reading glasses & book. I'm not going to pack all these up again & move to a different seat.

Ken had never dealt with a situation like this before. The Japanese lady whose EY seat Mr X occupied was standing behind him not knowing what's going on!
Ken tried one more time: Sir do you mean you prefer to remain here for the flight? Your business class seat will be much more comfortable. You have already paid for it.
Mr X:  That's what I said, didn't I? I don't like  business people. Bunch of crooks. I want to be right here, in the middle of the plane where I'm safe, not up front in the death zone. That's what I told my daughter, & that's what I want.

End of story ...lol... The Japanese lady got his seat in the business class. And for the rest of the 7-8 hours flight he made life pretty difficult for poor Ken. Ken never forget this incident, but when he relate it to us, it's always hilarious.

Hope you enjoy :))
