Absolutely true story.
Myself (P1), Son Number 1 (p) Son Number 2 (p) sitting in 1st class lounge at HK - all booked and paid for business class.
I was called to desk and offered upgrade to 1st (747) and then told they had one more 1st class seat and which of the 2 boys would like it.
They tossed for it, and son number 1 came with me. Son number 2 remained in Business in an "A" seat with a vacancy alongside.
When the doors closed, two people, staff, don't know who was the staff, husband or wife, but husband went upstairs and wife next to my son.
As the flight was being pushed out "Mrs Staff" told my son that her daughter was back in Economy and she did not like travelling on her own
and would he mind going back to economy and allowing her to come to business.
He was somewhat flustered and asked the "boss" could he talk with me and this was allowed. He asked me what should he do? And I simply said
"stay where you are" if she is concerned about her daughter then let her go back. She did not, but was not happy.
On returning to Sydney I was quite angry and considered a complaint but kept my mouth shut - should I have had a whinge?:?:
