Hi all,
I was on a recent flight from London to Melbourne (QF 10, stopover in Dubai). I was in PE on the upper deck. I was walking around the cabin (Y and PE) and stopped to stretch in the big area back by the flight attendant area (in front of the stairs). I decided to use the loo while I was up, and saw that the toilets were in use, so waited. Some one from Y got up from their seat and joined me in line.
Then a female passenger came back and spoke to one of the flight attendants. She said, "So and so told me to talk to you." The flight attendant said, "Oh, yes," and then walked over and unlocked one of the toilets. She then went in and used it. I asked the flight attendant, and they said it was a J passenger that they had reserved the toilet for.
I was pretty livid. I didn't care so much about someone jumping the queue -- it was rather the audacity that Y passengers have their toilets blocked off so that J passengers can use them.
Does this strike anyone else as wrong? For what it's worth, I did complain both to the flight attendant and to the customer service manager. The manager said it was not normal practice and it shouldn't have happened, but I wonder....
