Title: Too pretty to fly?
Post by: Foxy Brown on February 27, 2008, 03:37:16 AM

Prejudice against pretty?

That's the claim from a pair of 18-year-old best friends from Oldsmar who were escorted off a Southwest Airlines plane. (http://www.tampabays10.com/news/local/article.aspx?storyid=74549)

Their interview sounded a little implausible. That said, airlines suck so I could believe it.

Still, Williams and Swedberg say they were banned from all future Southwest Airlines flights, including their scheduled flight home to Tampa.

Swedberg spent $419.50 on a one-way return ticket and arrived at TIA on Monday. Williams is still in Los Angeles trying to find a cheaper flight home. She hopes to be back to Tampa by Saturday.

She really just left her best friend in LA? That just seems wrong. I know I'd be pissed.

From the story it sounded like those two were just asking for trouble from the very beginning. They sounded if were expecting a first class experience.

“I think they were just discriminating against because we were young decent-looking girls. I mean, nobody else on the plane looked like us except us,” she said.

I'm pretty sure that explains it all, stuck up :lol:
