” Not true at all”.

Completely true. Can’t believe I’m carrying on this argument, which I admit is beside the point of the Ms Schembri story.

As I said there is more to the world than Air Malta. In flight crew have regularly on long haul flights I have been on moved passengers up to business class. Latest example: my wife, a couple of months ago. Imagine her delight when the lovely Lufthansa steward asked her if she would mind swapping seats with another passnger and then, out of the blue, said come with me and up to business class she went.

Very often when we fly long haul we watch single passengers get moved up. I’ll say it again, there are many more airlines out there in the world. What your contact says about Air Malta is just that, it’s about Air Malta.

Daphne, there is more to the world than Air Malta and flights from Malta. It happens quite often in the rest of the world that “somebody feels like being nice to you arbitrarily” and you are moved to business class (club? is that only Air Malta?) “when you’re on the plane already”. And usually it’s done by one of the stewards/stewardesses om board.

[Daphne – Not true at all. In-flight crew are not authorised to move passengers from one class to another, though they can allow movement between seats in the same class. Upgrades are possible only at check-in. Once your boarding pass has been issued with a seat number, that’s it – the inflight crew have to stick to it.

Besides, Ms Schembri argument is that MPs are automatically upgraded to Club Class on Air Malta if there are seats available when everyone has boarded. How absurd is that. Check-in staff know at check-in whether there are seats available because a plane is not a bus. Secondly, by what right do MPs expect automatic upgrades? ]
