Sticking up for Business Flyers
Seems that business travellers come in for a bit of grief on this thread!
I am a very frequent traveller, with a collection of gold cards from airline loyalty programmes in my wallet and I always try to be as polite and as pleasant as possible on board.
In fact at the end of a recent internal flight in the States I was presented with a really nice bottle of wine from the pursur as a 'thank you' for being so polite (clearly low standards in the US!)
But the one thing that really does irk me, and I know I am being petty, but it is my boarding pass being checked yet again on entering the aircraft. At the airport where I live this is the fourth time that I am required to show it and I just find it completely nonsensical.
Can I also say that the politeness/pleasantness thing does need to work both ways. I have been on many flights where I have been on the receiving end of some extremely grumpy and unfriendly service and I know it isn't anything I have done!
