'I just want what I was promised': Airline offers a passenger $700 to give up his seat then tries to dupe him into accepting 20,000 sky miles instead
Waiting around in the airport is a lot like getting stuck in purgatory. Time comes to a standstill, nobody makes eye contact with you, your body aches for no reason, and even if it's 7AM, someone's at the bar drinking a beer. And when you're waiting at your gate in your terminal, nothing matters except getting on your plane and heading to your destination– anything to get you out of this grey, timeless dump. For most travelers, they'll do just about anything to avoid another couple hours stuck in purgatory, but what would you do if your airline offered you $700 of cold hard cash to give up your seat? Would you grab the cash and buy yourself something nice in the duty-free section? Or would you shut down their hospitable requests and head to your final destination?
In this case, one man paid the price for his complacency about his flight after hearing out the kind words of his stewardess. We have all been in situations where hospitality offers quickly turn sour, but u/SavageMeatball was seriously duped by a sugar-tongued airline. Scroll for the full story of how one man got stuck in purgatory after being swooned by the stewardess sirens into giving up his seat for a mount of cash that ended up being as worthless as the time he spent waiting around in the airport terminal.
