In a warning to daydreamers looking to cheat on free upgrades, an airline steward has gone viral by revealing why sweet talk and buttery flattery won’t get would-be high rollers access to the VIP section. It has become.
“Our airline is consider it theft” explained flight attendant Destaney Armstrong, 25, in a trending TikTok that has racked up more than 11,000 views since it was posted last week.
