Poor Cam, flying coach... no leg room. Offers $1,500 to switch seats, gets rejected.

Not a high hurdle heh. Delta was one of the worst of all airlines I’ve tried 

If you think Delta is bad try British Air / American. God f'n awful.

I live in CLT so I fly AA but not my favorite

1- Delta

2- Southwest

3- Jetblue

4- AA

5- United

6- Frontier Airlines (they got a bunch of new planes)

7- Alaska Airlines

I live in Charlotte as well. Recently flew with Delta to NYC but taking American to Mexico soon. Was hoping you’d have ranked American higher based on my upcoming trip as I am not a frequent flyer.

Cause he didn’t plan ahead and it was Paris fashion week so all the tickets were even more expensive than usual. The guy probably paid 3k for those seats

JFK to DXB on A380 ALWAYS has business seats available when check in opens. Usually $800

Last time I looked(and it was a while ago) the A380 out of DC was pretty pricey(coach was $1800-2500). Is JFK generally cheaper for Emirates? I honestly just want to check out that A380, which was why I was considering Emirates.

Emirates is high style travel.  I live in Australia so all flights are about 10 hours at least.

Because they actually have to compete without any government assistance.  Many of the Airlines mentioned here get a lot of assistance and in some cases are even owned by the government of a country (Singapore Airlines for example).  This gives them a significant competive advantage.

I would have been sick if I was sitting next to the guy.  I would have offered him additional funds just to have been able to sit next to Cam for 10 hours, are you kidding me??  Like you ain’t sleeping dawg, we talking.

But Mexico is only a couple hours and I fly down there quite a bit. That short of a flight, there's not a lot to differentiate one carrier over another.

Wasn’t business class. There was no price difference between cams seat and that seat, that guy just got lucky and got the exit isle seat. I woulda taken the money even if it wasn’t cam, but who knows. Maybe that guy was even richer than cam and didn’t need the money. Cam handled it fine and there’s no real story here. Just fuel for the internet trolls to make baseless comments (I first saw this story on PFT. The comments were as to be expected. There was even a SB fumble comment...)

There is different price points in coach. Now a days the seats in the first part of coach have extra leg room then in the back and cost more depending on the length of the flight. Exit row seats cost more too.

He took private over there. I would have offered 5k. 1k is pocket change these days.
