Where Economy Travels Business Class

-          Kingfisher Airlines

Somewhere in India

A loyal customer of Kingfisher Airlines phones his travel agent asking him to book an economy seat for him in Kingfisher Airlines to Mumbai.

 The agent tells him that most of the staff at Kingfisher Airlines has been ‘rested’ for the moment and would he like another carrier?

The unexpected break from the routine unnerves the gentleman who fumbles for a suitable reply but is adamant that he be on a Kingfisher flight to Mumbai tomorrow evening.

Patiently, the staffer explains that that would not be possible and could they sign him up on another plane?

Dejected, he resigns himself to another flight, when the staffer casually says that there may be a business class ticket available on the flight the following day and would he be interested? 

 The customer reluctantly gives in.  Better Kingfisher than any other dumb plane, no?

 The next day sees the customer in the plane but not before he is made to pay top dollar for all the services en route... 

(Excuse me, shouldn’t all this be part of the package?)

(But you aren’t a valued customer comes the pat, well-rehearsed reply. )

His mounting frustration over the company’s exorbitant rates and much more is recorded and uploaded on YouTube. (Dear me!)

After what seems to be several hours of harassment, he finds himself in the interiors of the plane.

But what’s this? Why are all the staffers paying so much attention to him?  And what is Mr. Mall...? Wait a minute! Mr. Vijay Mallya is sitting next to him? And it looks like he is saying something to him! And everybody is looking at him and they are all clapping. “...most loyal customer... your stay in Mumbai is on the house.”

The man hasn’t heard a word of what brought it on but faintly recollects having shouted Yaaay!

It’s true some people have all the luck...

... such as when economy travels business class?
