- I accidentally posted this on Flyertalk rather than AFF.....so I'll try again (im unco on my ipad and i was just so flustered)
So I'm sitting in MEL lounge trying to figure out what went wrong...I told the lovely lounge ladies here what happened...they were shocked and horrified...
So sorry about spelling and grammar....on ipad.
So this Is what I'm sending to VA once I figure out who to send it to..any ideas.
Re my flight OOL to MEL , 25 April 2015
flight ### OOL_MEL 25 april 2015
I was in 3C and husband in 3A, POS who needed extender belt was just before boarding placed in 3B .
we all couldn't fit comfortably and safely, 'the POS unfortunately took up some of our seats as well due to her shoulder width.
Even after flight attendants helping her with belt, I still had to point out that we couldn't fly like this, they initially said they didn't have any other seats to move us to
I informed them we had no baggage and could be put on next flight to MEL as we were doing Status run, but needed to get our 6.30 pm flight MEL-SYD.
Ground staff notified, she informed us we could move flights but at our own expense.Ground staff informed me that because i had asked re loading of row 3 in the lounge then I must be looking to obtain free upgrade.
I asked if POS could be upgraded to Business as it was half full. Flight attendants/ ground staff said it wasn't in their power to do that.
I continued to ask re moving seats, finally told 2 seats available in exit row 14.
I didn't want to take on exit row responsibility's so suggested moving my husband from 3A to 14C, moving POS to 3A and me staying in 3C.
The whole encounter was stressful, embarrassing not only to me but to POS.
