Airline passenger's fury at being told to give up first class seat for dog
Share:
An airline passenger was left paws-itvely fuming when he was bumped from first class so a dog could take his seat. The flyer was set to take off from an unknown airport in the US when they were told the happy news they were being upgraded by airline Delta. However, once they got to the gate their day got a little worse when they were told it was needed so a service dog could join its owner in the posh part of the plane.
To make the journey more uncomfortable, their original seat was gone and they were downgraded to a worse seat than they originally planned for. The passenger wrote: “I got upgraded to first this morning, only to 15 mins later get downgraded (to a worst seat than I previously had).
“I asked the desk agent what was going on and she said “something changed”. Okay, fine, I am disgruntled but whatever, I then board only to see this dog in my first class seat … And now I’m livid. “There is no way that dog has spent as much with this airline as I have ... What an absolute joke. What's the point of being loyal to this airline anymore, truly. I've sat back when others complained about this airline mistreating customers lately and slipping in service levels, but I'm starting to question my allegiance as well.”.
Several people agreed the passenger had received the ruff end of the draw. One said: “If you’d paid for your seat then I think it’s a legitimate gripe. Complimentary upgrades can be taken away for a variety of reasons though, not just service dogs, without compensation.
