Old Woman (89) Is Denied Business Class – Then Flight Attendant Discovers Who She Really Is

They say that you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. However, when it comes to aviation, first impressions matter a lot. How you look like when you fly determines how you are treated by the airline staff, and could make-or-break your trip for you. Some people have even been denied entry into planes just because of how they looked. After a lot of trouble at the airport, the 89-year-old Mrs. Wilson finally made it onto the plane for the first flight of her life.

But when she wanted to sit down in business class, she encountered a lot of unexpected resistance. Mrs. Wilson was sure she was in her right being here but was that even going to matter in the situation? Despite her age and appearance, Mrs. Wilson had every right to her seat. Her determination to overcome prejudices and assert her rights was inspiring.

All the commotion

Mrs. Wilson went to the airport one day to take a flight. She wasn’t very rich, didn’t have very many good clothes, and looked a little worse for wear – even for 89. That said, she did what she could to look nice and presentable – it was going to be her first flight, after all. At 89 years old, she wanted to make sure that whatever she did became memorable.

here was so much commotion going on around poor Mrs. Wilson that it was almost becoming too much for her. Everybody was looking at her and even the flight attendant who was trying to help looked at her with begging eyes. Mrs Wilson, on the other hand, was confused – it was all so new. She had obviously no idea what to do…

Eventually sitting down

There was a bit of confusion on Mrs. Wilson’s end on what she was supposed to do next. However, the flight attendant did her best to be very patient with her. Mrs. Wilson tried to explain that it was going to be her first time ever to fly, and that she didn’t know what to do. So the flight attendant did what she could to take her to her seat.
