Palmtree and others (who didn't appreciate my post), you are yet more examples of pax who don't pay for your C of F tickets! I am an elderly person who may well pop his clogs while flying one of these days.
I AM NOT RICH. For health reasons I can only contemplate flying long haul in C or F. I do so at my own expense (not the company's - as most pax do). I don't believe my attitude is selfish. The dead person will certainly not enjoy the privilege of flying in F - and I certainly won't find their company lively. By all means upgrade any accompanying family members. I have no dispute with that. So give me a break all you politically correct do gooders, cos the HARD EARNED money I spend on my C or F ticket actually subsidises your cheapo ticket!!! Ban me from flying, ha! You make me laugh. The airlines need the revenue from my C or F ticket more than they need your few coppers.
