During the final days at Denver’s old Stapleton airport, a crowded United flight was canceled.

Canceled Flight

The single agent was rebooking a long line of very inconvenienced and frustrated travelers. Suddenly an angry passenger pushed his way to the desk in front of all the others. He slapped his ticket down on the counter and said, “I HAVE to be on this flight and it has to be FIRST CLASS.”

The agent replied, “I’m sorry sir. I’ll be happy to try to help you, but I’ve got to help these folks first, and I’m sure we’ll be able to work something out.”

The passenger was unimpressed. He asked loudly, so that all the passengers behind him could hear, “Do you have any idea who I am?”

Without hesitating, the gate agent smiled warmly and grabbed her public address microphone. “May I have your attention please?” she began, her voice bellowing throughout the entire terminal. “We seem to have a passenger here at the gate WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If anyone can help him find his identity, please come forward to the gate.”

With the folks behind him in line now laughing hysterically, the man glared at the United agent, gritted his teeth, and spat out the words, “F… you.”

Without flinching in the least, the agent smiled politely and said, “I’m terribly sorry, sir, but I’m afraid that you’ll have to stand in line for that, too.”

As of right now, I haven’t flown in a passenger jet plane in years and I know having an ear infection while being in a plane is not a good thing. Take the emergency landing to Haiti when I was supposed to go to Walt… Read more »

What in the world are you talking about? There is no requirement that celebrities sit in first class. They may end up sitting in the back row of economy, they may end up bulkhead in business class. I know plenty of business men and women that sit in economy, and I know many vacationers that fly in first class or business class. I hope I misunderstood what you were saying, because if you are saying what I think you are, you are the most clueless person I know of.

Money = First class. No money = Economy. It’s that simple, really.

I’m pretty sure the first person commenting is a kid. Cut him some slack.
