The plane was on its way to Vancouver when a woman named Lily, sitting in economy class, decided she deserved an upgrade.
Without hesitation, she walked to first class, plopped down in an empty seat and made herself at home.
The flight attendant quickly spotted her and approached her with a polite but firm smile.
Flight attendant: ‘Excuse me, miss. May I see your boarding pass?’
Lily: (waving her hand dramatically) ‘I’m Lily. I’m amazing. I’m flying to Vancouver and I’m staying right here.’
Trying not to show her disappointment, the stewardess gently explained,
Miss, you’ve purchased an economy ticket. You need to return to your assigned seat.’
Lily, ‘My name is Lily, I’m awesome, I’m flying to Vancouver and I’m staying here.’
Seeing that she wasn’t getting anywhere, the flight attendant removed herself and headed to the cockpit to inform the crew.
Captain, co-pilot: ‘We have a woman in first class who refuses to leave.’
The co-pilot offered to deal with this and went down the aisle to try his luck.
Co-pilot: (kindly) ‘Miss, since your ticket is economy, I must ask you to return to your seat.’
Lily: ‘I’m Lily, I’m awesome, I’m flying to Vancouver and I’m staying here’.
Confused, the co-pilot returned to the cockpit.
Co-pilot: ‘I think we’re going to need security when we land. She won’t budge.’
The captain, overhearing the conversation, only grinned.
Pilot: ‘Relax. I’ve got this. My wife is just like her.’
He walked up the aisle, leaned over, and whispered something in Lily’s ear.
Immediately, Lily’s eyes widened with shock.
‘Oh, I’m so sorry!’ – she sighed, jumped up and rushed back to economy class without any further ado.
The stewardess and co-pilot stared at the pilot in amazement.
Captain, what did you say to her?’
The pilot grinned.
Pilot: ‘It’s simple. I told her that first class would not be going to Vancouver.’
