SIA just lost another idiot.

 

The more these plicks don't fly means

 

the more I will enjoy flying our national carrier.

3 yr old and he expects the airline to upgrade the child for free?

 

Dumb cheapskate. Lucky he isn't living in a sometimes silly place like France or they might have taken the child into child protection for its safety.

Not sure , but child ticket should be much cheaper than adult ticket ?

 

But I support the decision of SIA.

there are ways to get upgrade from economy to business class.

fly enough first/business class, accumulate enough points, use those points and you can get your upgrade.

or you pay for a business class ticket, simple.

Obviously trying his luck by buying tix in different classes. Backfired.

 

Now even self-pawned.

Got to question the authenticity of such news, especially coming from coconuts.co. Article did not have link to the actual post so read it with a pinch of salt.

From the post, doesn't seem like the father was expecting the airline to give the son a free upgrade. More like they just wanted the airline to let the son sit in the same seat as the mom in business class cuz he mentioned about understanding that if there is turbulence the boy needs to belt up thus cannot share seat if there's turbulence.

 

They used to allow that though. Cuz my mum always gets free upgrades to biz class so i usually go over to the biz class and share seat with her since the seat is big enough.

I think the mother should move to the economy seat so that the 3-year old child could take the business seat.

Problem solved.

Doing something like that and still dare to complaint on social media.

 

The entitlement mentality is a lot more dangerous than his cheapskate move.

Below 2 years old, 50% I think. Thereafter is full fare.

the complaint is all due to wanting to let the kid be with the mother leh

[Wt_know]

when he bought 1 x Biz + 1 x Eco tix

he already AIM for it liao

if he really think that the boy can "sit on the lap of the mother" then why not just buy 1 x Biz
