Ronnie is Ronnie and Elal is Elal so typical!! Home away from home...
In a side note, They were probably not excited about UA booking into their F ( which is totally fair if you ask me )
As AJK mentioned make sure you get some hefty reimbursement for IDB
Yah, that was what it originally bothered him. Although I explained to him that it's UAs issue and not LY as UA is responsible for whatever they book in. But to no ears. He said UA J pax can not get in our F even UA booked it.
He was like "we have first class and UA doesn't, UA has something called business first but it's not REAL first, we have REAL first. Its very exclusive"
So I got UA to rebook in business class and called him back, now his response was "I am not giving business class, I am the boss in JFK and I WILL MAKE SURE THEY ONLY SIT IN ECONOMY"
So I said, this is called involuntary denied boarding, the passenger has to fly so he will fly economy but at least let him take 2 bags since he is ticketed in business class, he said NO and hang up the phone.
This idiot was still sooo proud of his first class
