Another one. The doors don't actually open while in flight, right?

They are designed not to open.

Doesn't it depend on altitude?

She should. Since they sold the seat that she paid for again, the refund will have actually cost them hardly anything.
And they endangered her safety and the kid's.
Maybe they were scared of having to chuck the standby passenger off, given their previous performance.

Many people have issues being in a plane. Most get drunk. This guy thought he could stand it to Beijing. He lasted an hour:

Coulter refused to respond to the Delta tweets and her 30 extra for her seat has been refunded.

Ann Coulter's series of tweets targeting Delta Airlines stretched into a second day on Sunday after the conservative author said she lost a prebooked "extra-room" seat on a flight.

"The worst airline in America" she said in a tweet Saturday night.

"Just when you think it's safe to fly them again, the worst airline in America is STILL: @Delta," she added.


Coulter said a flight attendant responded "I don't know" when asked why the "extra-room seat I specifically booked" was given to another customer.
Coulter then took a picture of the woman who was given the seat, and said she was "not an air marshal or tall person."

The conservative commentator said she was told the seat was given to the woman, who appeared to be sitting with her family, for an "emergency."

"Suckiest @Delta moved me from my PRE-BOOKED SEAT & gave it to some woman, not elderly, child, or sick. I have pictures so don’t lie, @Delta!"


Among her tweets on Sunday morning, Coulter said Delta’s motto was: "How can we make your flight more uncomfortable?"


The airline responded to the tweets Sunday evening, saying it would refund her $30.

Delta added in a second tweet that Coulter's "insults about our other customers and employees are unacceptable and unnecessary."


She fired back again shortly after, saying she's "STILL WAITING FOR AN EXPLANATION FROM THE BRILLIANT, TALENTED, HARDWORKING STAFF" at Delta.


A look through the airline's past tweets shows a customer service representative tried to contact Coulter at the time of her problem.

I side with Coulter. Just because she's a cow doesn't mean she's always wrong.

She must be a bit thick though, to still be buying a flight off Delta. I would need to be really desperate to fly with them.

Maybe she should ask for free tickets. Famous people can then tweet "I flew Delta and nothing happened!"

I think the Russians are hacking the airlines.

Fuck airlines. Fuck airports. Flying sucks massive donkey dicks. Not even worth fucking the stews these days, they'll hire any old cow.

I still love the takeoffs, landings, and the banking they involve. Kid at heart, I suppose. NZ Airlines stewardesses are honeys too. I do miss no longer being able to walk into the pilots's workshop for a sticky beak and a yack.

I miss the days when the stewardesses would bring you your free drinks without you having to keep asking.
