Best Flaunting of Airline Status
by statusmonger on Dec.24, 2008, under Airlines
I recently was at London’s Heathrow airport waiting to board my flight to Seoul. When I arrived at my gate near boarding time there was already a huge line of people. Then they called boarding for first class, business class, and Star Alliance Gold members. I bypassed the line to board the plane. I had my economy class ticket in my hand, which is a different color than first and business class. One airline employee apparently saw this discrepency and came up to me. In a somewhat rude tone he said to me, "Will you please wait in line?" I then proceeded to flash my Star Alliance Gold card and he responded with an apologetic, "Ah… ok." That’s right, homie.
