95. Oh, well in that case it came from another thread on DU about the incident.

I didn't verify that information for myself.

I don't fly Delta myself, so I have no particular need to criticize nor defend them. Heck, I hate flying, period.

All I can say is that I've never had an issue with my pre-booked seat being taken away from me.
But then, I am always early.

My biggest concern in this incident was Ann's attempt to dox the poor customer who got her seat.
Whatever Ann's beef with Delta is, tweeting out the picture of that young woman was an attempt to have her harassed by the mouth-breathers to love Ann's books and racism.

Surely that's unnecessary RandomAccess Jul 2017 #119

That was something I read several years ago about her. It was said she likes her white doc03 Jul 2017 #120

That someone else said it doesn't make it less sexist RandomAccess Jul 2017 #121

Ha ha!!!! Initech Jul 2017 #6

All airlines are pretty subpar GulfCoast66 Jul 2017 #7

Delta is the best US carrier amongst the majors. GetRidOfThem Jul 2017 #118

She is a POS Thinkingabout Jul 2017 #8

$30? She pitched a fit over $30? mcar Jul 2017 #9

She was mad that she got moved from an "extra room" seat oberliner Jul 2017 #16

I know mcar Jul 2017 #24

I agree that she behaved in an awful way oberliner Jul 2017 #33

I agree. They haven't explained why she didn't get spooky3 Jul 2017 #43

She got a seat like the one she paid for. It was across the asile from her bought seat and it still Jim Beard Jul 2017 #56

so she posted that and then flew right next to the person - or nearby? Abu Pepe Jul 2017 #104

Except she had to sit in a window seat, instead of aisle seat which she had pre-booked oberliner Jul 2017 #105

She didn't pre-book an isle seat,she booked a window seat.......... Bengus81 Jul 2017 #111

It's worse than that. Delta said they moved her to a different seat in the SAME ROW. pnwmom Jul 2017 #26

That seems strange oberliner Jul 2017 #32

Maybe to let that 3-person family sit together -- the one in the photo she took? pnwmom Jul 2017 #37

Then Delta is definitely in the wrong oberliner Jul 2017 #39

Yes, you can... brooklynite Jul 2017 #44

Does not seem like it was necessary oberliner Jul 2017 #52

I just returned from Europe via Delta leftynyc Jul 2017 #114

That right, as with overbooking The Mouth Jul 2017 #123

No, probably not. Haven't you ever seen the disclaimer when you choose a seat? pnwmom Jul 2017 #45

Generally people are allowed to sit in the seats they booked oberliner Jul 2017 #53

We don't know that she booked it well in advance -- just that she felt entitled to humiliate pnwmom Jul 2017 #55

She claims that she did oberliner Jul 2017 #58

Where did she say she confirmed it? All I read, over and over, was that she "prebooked" it -- like pnwmom Jul 2017 #59

If you choose a specific seat in advance, you should be allowed to seat in that seat oberliner Jul 2017 #61

If you're buying a ticket online, you should read the disclaimer that says the seat isn't pnwmom Jul 2017 #62

OK oberliner Jul 2017 #86

For all we know, her boarding pass was printed with the window seat number on it. pnwmom Jul 2017 #90

We (and Coulter) wouldn't have to guess as to the reason why, if Delta would just tell her citood Jul 2017 #97

But when you book online it's not fine print. It jumped out at me, anyway. And we don't know pnwmom Jul 2017 #98

The flight attendant should have 'reached out to her' in the same sentence as "we need you to move" citood Jul 2017 #99

How do you know she didn't? Do you believe anything else Coulter has to say? pnwmom Jul 2017 #103

I get the feeling that the other family got there first, and made the request... krispos42 Jul 2017 #76

You may be right oberliner Jul 2017 #84

So, stuff buried in a disclaimer/boilerplate should carry the weight of law? The Mouth Jul 2017 #124

She got moved from one extra leg room seat to another extra leg room seat. politicat Jul 2017 #89

One was an aisle and one was a window oberliner Jul 2017 #91

How do you know she "got moved" - ? Charlotte Little Jul 2017 #102

Both she and Delta have said that she was moved from an aisle to a window seat oberliner Jul 2017 #106

I loathe Ann Coulter, but Delta is in the wrong here oberliner Jul 2017 #17

Got it oberliner Jul 2017 #51

I think it's great you're digging your feet in on this one. LanternWaste Jul 2017 #115

No, Ann did something really despicable in tweeting out the photo of the other passenger. Coventina Jul 2017 #65

I agree that Coulter's actions were abominable. BadgerMom Jul 2017 #77

Awesome! chwaliszewski Jul 2017 #92

I've always especially loved that part. tavernier Jul 2017 #100

I agree also, why did they move her? Why did she lose her seat? n/t USALiberal Jul 2017 #63

If you don't show up in a timely fashion, airlines reserve the right to resell your seat. Coventina Jul 2017 #66

OK! Well, that seems like a reasonable reason. So she screwed up basically. Thanks for info! nt USALiberal Jul 2017 #67

Very welcome!! Coventina Jul 2017 #68

Where did you get that info from? oberliner Jul 2017 #72
