that the passenger next to her was a black man. Visibly furious, she
called the air hostess.
"What's the problem, ma'am?" the hostess asked her.
"Can't you see?" the lady said. . . "I was given a seat next to a black
man. I can't seat here next to him. You have to change my seat."
"Please, calm down, ma." said the hostess. "Unfortunately, all the
seats are occupied, but I'm still going to check if we have any."
The hostess left and returned some minutes later.
"Madam, as I told you, there isn't any empty seat in this class - economy.
But I spoke to the captain and he confirmed that there aren't any
empty seats in the economy class. We only have seats in the first
class."
And before the woman said anything, the hostess continued. . . "Look,
it is unusual for our company to allow a passenger from the economy
class to change to first class. However, given the circumstances, the
commandant thinks that it would be a scandal to make a passenger
travel sitting next to such an unpleasant person."
And turning to the black man, the hostess said, "Which means,
Sir, if you would be so nice to pack your handbag, we have reserved
you a seat in the first class."
And all the passengers nearby, who were shocked to see the scene
started applauding, some standing on their feet.
